Emma Raducanu splits with coach Dmitry Tursunov, brings on fitness trainer Jez Green
The move could be a response to the 2021 US Open winner's frequent injury problems this season, including four on-court retirements.

Emma Raducanu is once again looking for a new coach, but now has a full-time fitness trainer on her team.
The 19-year-old from Great Britain has stopped working with Dmitry Tursunov, who started working with her around three months ago at the beginning of the hardcourt season. British press have indicated that Tursunov has decided to take an offer from another WTA player.
Raducanu has become known for frequent coaching changes, usually at her or her team's initiative, and had previously been working with Torben Beltz. This is her fourth coaching change since her surprise victory at the 2021 US Open—and her fifth in the last 16 months.
While she has not announced a new coach, Raducanu has brought on British fitness trainer Jez Green, who has previously worked with Andy Murray, Alexander Zverev, Karolina Pliskova and is currently training Dominic Thiem. Green reportedly will be advising Raducanu in the next few weeks while he winds up his partnership with Thiem.
The move could be a response to her frequent injury problems this season, including four on-court retirements. In addition to repeated back and hip issues, she has been recently sidelined with a wrist problem which has forced her to withdraw from this week's Cluj-Napoca.
Raducanu, who peaked at world No. 10 earlier this year, is currently No. 68 in the WTA rankings.
