Emma Raducanu revealed she would like fellow British tennis star Andy Murray to be her coach one day.

Raducanu has travelled to California for Indian Wells, a WTA 1000 tournament.

The 19-year-old is set to face Caroline Garcia in the second round this evening, having received a bye from the first round as the 11th seed.

In the run-up to her opening match, Raducanu has been taking part in behind-the-scenes filming with tournament organisers.

In one clip shared on the Indian Wells Twitter account, the star was asked who she would like to have in her coaching corner.

“Also Andy because he's really good at breaking down the game," she said. "I feel like his insight and knowledge would be really helpful and I'd love to hear it."

Murray, a three-time Grand Slam winner, has backed Raducanu since she stormed to victory at the US Open in September.

Raducanu became the first ever qualifier, male or female, to earn a Grand Slam title. She won 10 games in a row without dropping a set, and became the first female British tennis player to claim a major since Virginia Wade in 1977.

Since then, Raducanu has struggled with injuries, and she now has a 40 percent retirement rate from WTA Tour events.

The 34-year-old Murray, who also battled injury during his career, stressed last month that he would be more than willing to speak with Raducanu, but only if she wanted his help.

“I don’t think that I’m necessarily the right person to be giving advice on those things,” he said.

“She has her team that she’s working with, that she will trust to help her through those moments.

“If she wanted to know my advice, I’m sure she would message or speak to me and contact me, and I’d be more than happy to chat, but I’m not just going to dish out advice on that.”

Murray also referenced Raducanu as he discussed his plans for retirement, revealing that he wanted to help to bring through the next crop of professional British players.

He emphasised the need to increase the number of young girls playing tennis, and named Raducanu as a potential source of inspiration.

Murray is also in action at Indian Wells this evening, with a first round match against Taro Daniel scheduled.

Victory against the Japanese qualifier would earn Murray his 700th ATP Tour level win, becoming just the fourth active player alongside Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to hit this milestone.
