Emma Raducanu has an audition with 'highly sought after' tennis coach Riccardo Piatti.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the British number one has been training at the Italian's Piatti Academy in Bordighera in an attempt to rectify her recent slump in form.

There is no indication as to whether a potential relationship with Piatti would affect her recent appointment of mentor Torben Beltz.

Raducanu was catapulted into the spotlight last year when she became the first qualifier in history to win the US Open.

Her meteoric rise through the world rankings made Raducanu one of the most talked about athletes in the world, and it was no surprise that a number of high profile brands including Dior, Tiffany & Co, and Porsche were eager to work with her.

Raducanu's growing portfolio of lucrative brand partnerships has triggered a debate over whether her focus is still on improving as a tennis player.

Having won just four matches since her historic triumph at Flushing Meadows last September, the Brit has faced some criticism over her dip in form.

Her best result since returning from New York saw her reach the quarter-final of the Transylvania Open. In this time, Raducanu has been knocked out of five different tournaments after her first match, including Indian Wells, and most recently the Miami Open.

In order to work on her performances on the court, Raducanu is rumoured to be training at the Piatti Academy ahead of the clay-court season.

She is awaiting the outcome of her audition with Piatti himself to see if the Italian mentor wants to work with her.

Piatti is reportedly in high demand after former client and world number 12 Jannik Sinner recently transferred to new coach Simone Vagnozzi.

The 63-year-old has previously worked with some of the sport's biggest talents, including Maria Sharapova and Novak Djokovic, who he tipped for greatness before his explosive rise.
