Who Coaches Jelena Ostapenko?

Jelena Ostapenko is currently coached by her mother, Jelena Jakovļeva, and Stanislav Khmarsky.

In 2017, Ostapenko trained with Anabel Medina Garrigues. At the end of 2017, she parted ways with Medina Garrigues, hiring David Taylor, the veteran trainer of Sam Stosur and Ana Ivanovic, to guide her in the majors, while her mother continued to serve as her primary coach. Ostapenko entered two finals in two weeks and won the title in Luxembourg after forming a trial partnership with 2013 Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli in October 2019. Bartoli announced that Ostapenko would have her as her full-time coach for the entire 2020 season, as their collaboration would continue.

Jelena Ostapenko and Bartoli's collaboration ended during Bartoli’s pregnancy, the COVID-19 hiatus, and the difficult start of Ostapenko’s 2020 season. Ostapenko then started working with Thomas Högstedt, the former coach of Maria Sharapova and Simona Halep, on a trial basis. However, their partnership did not last very long.

In February 2021, after the birth of Ostapenko's daughter in Doha, Bartoli started coaching the player once more. Since then, Ostapenko has been working with Ukrainian coach Stanislav Khmarsky.
