Former WTA star is excited for Elena Rybakina and her new partnership with Goran Ivanisevic
Former World No. 5 Daniela Hantuchova has shown her excitement at the new partnership between Rybakina and Ivanisevic. The former Slovakian tennis star believes that this could be the right move to get Rybakina's career back on track.
Elena Rybakina has endured a tough season in 2024, failing to win a single Grand Slam title before parting ways with her former coach Stefano Vukov. Later, the Kazakh announced Goran Ivanisevic as her new coach.
Hantuchova believes that Ivanisevic would be a perfect coach for Rybakina, given his success with Novak Djokovic. The Slovak further added that the Croatian coach would suit Rybakina's aggressive game.
"We all know Goran is a great, great coach, obviously a lot of experience and Rybakina is a very aggressive player. Something has not really worked well for her this tournament, so I think it can only be a great addition," Hantuchova said.
