Former Atp player Dmitry Tursunov came under fire for his coaching methods that has impacted the physical well-being of some Wta players.
In response to a fan comment on YouTube, Natalia Zabiiako, the girlfriend of Wta star Daria Kasatkina , revealed her reasons why Kasatkina will not consider the services of Dmitry Tursunov, a renowned coach at Wta level and former Atp pro who achieved a career-high ranking of number 20.
Tursunov has forged a successful coaching career since his premature retirement in 2017 due to injuries. The curly-haired Russian worked with current Wta number two Aryna Sabalenka and is credited for turning the Belarusian into a world beater back in the early phase of her career before they split in 2019.
Tursunov then coached Anett Kontaveit in the summer of 2021 and steered her to a career-best ranking of number two in the world last year. But their partnership ended at the start of June last season.
