Emma Raducanu has just hired Dmitry Tursunov as her new coach, at the least for the American summer. Tursunov has an excellent pedigree after successfully coaching Aryna Sabalenka and Annette Kontaveit.

Nevertheless, it’s interesting to notice that after Emma won the US Open in November 2021 he commented:

“There is such a term ‘coaching carousel’ when coaches go in a circle. Now Emma Raducanu, who won the US Open, is laying off the people she worked with. Naturally, everyone is shocked.

If someone from her team called me now and asked if I wanted to train her, I would tremble with fear because you don’t know when you will be fired.”
