Dmitry Tursunov surprised Emma Raducanu when he refused to continue their relationship to partner with Belinda Bencic. The well-known coach seemed scared that his job with Emma would not be stable. Interestingly enough, his partnership with Belinda Bencic lasted barely six months. This emerged after Dmitry was not seen in Belinda’s player’s box in Charleston.
As per sports journalist Simon Graf, the relationship ended after Miami, and there is no timetable for a new coach.
After six months, @BelindaBencic and Dmitry Tursunov go separate ways. Manager Marijn Bal confirms to me: "Following Miami, Belinda and Dmitry had a different vision on the way forward and therefore mutually decided to end their partnership.There is no timetable for a new coach."
