Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic said she gained confidence through joint work with the Russian coach Dmitry Tursunov .
Tursunov started working with Bencic at the end of last season.
– I read a lot about the “Dmitry effect”, so maybe that’s the point. You just have to remain very enduring, disciplined and psychologically stable. I’m working on it right now to stay calm and positive. I think the situation is better than last year. I had ups and downs, it felt like there was only yes or no. So now I’m really giving myself a chance.
To be honest, I don’t even know how I can be so open (to Tursunov’s corrections on his technique). Usually such things are very scary, but for some reason he just makes me believe it. I just trust him. My game is very special, not many people play in an open position, so it’s very difficult to go out there and start practicing completely new things, Bencic quotes website WTA.
Tursunov himself noted that the results of his work are already visible on the ground.
– When people say “work hard” they think it’s like lifting a lot of weight and stuff like that. She applies and tries new things, gives herself a chance to try something new, not knowing if it will work or not. And it’s quite difficult for her, she’s quite a conservative person in that sense. She showed courage, which allows her to introduce new things into her game a little faster.
I feel like there’s still a lot of work to do, but I said to him, “Look, it’s a gradual process, I’m not trying to turn you into a southpaw or a go-to player. tenderloin after each service. I’m just trying to add a few things. Maybe don’t think about it when you’re changing colors, but maybe when you’re going from one color shade to another, just expand your arsenal a bit,” he said.
Bencic, 25, is ranked ninth in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings and is the 2020 Olympic singles champion. The Swiss has won 7 WTA tournaments in her career.
