2001 Wimbledon champion, Croatian Goran Ivanisevic, has spoken about his time coaching Kazakhstani tennis player Elena Rybakina. Ivanisevic coached Rybakina from late 2024 to January 2025.
“It was a somewhat strange situation. I won`t elaborate much, but it`s a rather sad and peculiar story. Even before I became her coach, I considered her the best female tennis player globally. She has a beautiful and uncomplicated playing style, which I admired.”
“Unfortunately, there were some off-court circumstances that were beyond my control, and I didn`t want to be involved in them. Consequently, I concluded that leaving was the best course of action. I wish her all the best in her future career,” Ivanisevic said in a quote to Talking Tennis.
