I hope Emma does well with Dmitry Tursonov as her coach. He's a surprising choice but other players have had success with him.

^ Tursonov wrote blogs for the ATP called Tursonov Tales which people really enjoyed reading.

I think I remember reading some of them years ago, and they were quite good. I hope Emma does well with Dmitry Tursonov as her coach. He's a surprising choice but other players have had success with him.
And now a certain member of the Labour Party wants her to reconsider her choice through fears that Russia will use her as propaganda - https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1647431/Emma-Raducanu-new-coach-Dmitry-Tursunov-tennis-news |

Came through a 3 hr battle in searing heat, good effort. Both players with TOs for blisters. Into the quarters now.

I missed it because I was watching another Brit playing, but glad she managed to get through in what are challenging conditions.

Defeated 7-6(8-6), 6-1 by Ludmilla Samsonova in the QF despite having four set points in the first set. Blisters on her hands seemed to be a problem plus the fact that the match didn't start until 11pm.

That's a shame. Was there any excuse this time?
