Elena Rybakina presents herself in Abu Dhabi with a new coach
Following Goran Ivanisevic's departure from her team after the end of the Australian Open and the WTA's ban on Stefano Vukov due to misconduct, Elena Rybakina had limited time to assemble her support team for the upcoming tournament, the Abu Dhabi WTA 500. Nevertheless, the Kazakh player acted swiftly and has already showed up with a new coach there, the Italian Davide Sanguinetti. Retired since 2009, having reached #42 in the singles rankings and clinched two ATP titles, this 44-year-old Italian is Rybakina's choice in pursuit of some tranquility amid all the media noise. Let's see how things shake out for her this week before drawing conclusions.
Elena Rybakina has added Davide Sanguinetti to her coaching staff.
