Emma Raducanu says this week (and last week) with coach Dmitry Tursunov is on a trial basis, and won’t be continuous; she said Tursunov already has preexisting commitments for Toronto next week.
Emma Raducanu's alliance with new coach Dmitry Tursunov to be on a trial basis

British tennis superstar Emma Raducanu will have a new coach in her box at the Citi Open Washington as she has linked up with Dmitry Tursonov, but it is not permanent move, well not yet anyway.
The US Open champion caught most tennis pundits by surprise last week when it emerged that she was working with former top 20 player Tursunov ahead of the North American hard-court swing.

Tursunov had success in recent years as he mentored Anett Kontaveit of Estonia when she reached a career-high of No 2 in the WTA Rankings earlier in 2022. Her decision to partner with Tursunov raised eyebrows, especially due to his nationality with Kontaveit admitting in June that she split from the Russian as he was not able to travel around the world due to restrictions.
Raducanu’s agreement with Tursunov, though, is only on a short-term basis with tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg revealing on Twitter that it for now they will only work together at the Citi Open and Canadian Open.
“Emma Raducanu says this week (and last week) with coach Dmitry Tursunov is on a trial basis, and won’t be continuous; she said Tursunov already has preexisting commitments for Toronto next week,” he wrote.
The British No.1 split with Torben Beltz, her third mentor in just under a year, back in April and she has been working with coaches from the LTA on an interim basis.
