Belinda Bencic has split with coach Dmitry Tursunov after six months.  The partnership didn’t produce the results that Bencic expected, so the separation is not surprising. He started coaching Bencic in October 2022.

The split happened after the Miami Open according to news reports. Bencic lost in the fourth round at the Australian Open. She has won 2 titles this year – at Adelaide and Abu Dhabi.

Tursunov is a former top 20 player who won seven titles in his career. Since his retirement, he has coached a number of players Aryna Sabalenka, Anett Kontaveit, and Emma Raducanu.
