Emma Raducanu parted ways with yet another coach after Dmitry Tursunov reportedly ditched the British player. Dmitry seemed to enjoy a good relationship with Raducanu but apparently he decided to partner with another player. As per recent reports, Tursunov was spotted working with Belinda Bencic in Mexico before the WTA 1000 event in Guadalajara.
Soon after Emma Raducanu won the US Open, she parted ways with her coach Andrew Richardson. At that time, Tursunov said that it would be very risky to coach Emma, something he did during the recent American summer. Dmitry probably decided to coach another player since he was feeling unsure about his stability with Emma’s team.
