Sooner or later, she's just gonna sort it out": Tursunov believes Raducanu will figure out post US Open issues
WTA
The former coach of Emma Raducanu believes that she will figure out her issues although it won't be under him as he moved on to coach Belinda Bencic.
Raducanu hired Tursunov to help her come out of her slump and she had some decent showings under him but ultimately the partnership broke down. Tursunov admitted that he didn't have issues with Raducanu personally but there were too many people interfering which he didn't like so he quit.
Since then he started coaching Belinda Bencic and it's been going really well as she's back in the top 10 of the WTA Rankings. Speaking recently about Raducanu, Tursunov noted that he expects her to figure things out:
"I mean, with me, she was [a hard worker]. Sooner or later, she's just gonna sort it out. She's too smart of a person not to sort out you know. She loves tennis too much not to figure it out."

He added:
"It's just a question of how long it's gonna take her and how difficult the road is going to be," he added" "But, I think she's the person who is willing to go a bumpy road."
Asked how she's like, Tursunov said she's demanding of herself:
"She's super young. But, she's very demanding of herself and she pushes herself a lot. She's super tough on herself but to me, I felt like she's an incredible and intelligent person. When you talk to her, you just forget, she's 19 or 20. And so, in that sense, I really enjoyed every second of it."

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
