Dinara Safina returns to the circuit as a coach

Dinara Safina is back. The former world number one in the WTA already tried her luck in a brief coaching stint in 2025, coaching Diana Shnaider for just a month. That experience didn't go well, and Marat's sister decided to take a break... until this December brings us a new and interesting partnership: she will be the new coach of Polina Kudermetova, who recently switched nationalities (from Russian to Uzbek) and is considered one of the circuit's top talents. A stimulating duo.
