British Parliament unhappy that Russian coach Tursunov has started working with tennis player Radukan

The head of the UK Parliament’s Digital Technology, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, Julian Knight, has been outraged that Britain’s first racketeering Emma Radukanu will cooperate with a Russian specialist Dmitry Tursunov .

It was previously reported that reigning US Open winner Radukanu will be preparing to defend her title under Tursunov.

– It’s unpleasant to see a Russian coaching a rising star from the UK. It is hoped that the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) will show leadership in this area and can advise Emma on how best to proceed.

He also added that Tursunov’s opinion should be sought on Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.

Radukanou, 19, is ranked 10th in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings. In the final of the US Open-2021, she beat Leyla Fernandez (6:4, 6:3) from Canada in straight sets.

Previously, Russian and Belarusian tennis players were suspended from participation in Wimbledon 2022 by decision of tournament organizers. At other Grand Slam tournaments, athletes from both countries compete in a neutral status.
