Russian state TV have claimed that Emma Raducanu is being ‘harassed’ after the British tennis star was warned over being used as propaganda.
: ‘The Kremlin will portray this as a PR coup and an indication that the UK doesn’t really care about the war in Ukraine.
‘So it’ll be a real shame if Emma goes ahead with this. I urge her to think again and, at the very least, to condemn Putin’s barbaric war.’ Conservative MP Julian Knight, chairman of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee, added: ‘It does jar to see a Russian coaching Britain’s number one rising star.‘You would hope that the LTA [Lawn Tennis Association] would show some leadership on this and be able to advise Emma what is the best course of action.
As a player, Tursunov helped Russia win the Davis Cup in 2006 and he won seven titles on the ATP Tour, with his highest world ranking coming at No.20.
