Twelfth-ranked Diana Shnaider of Russia has employed former World No.1 Dinara Safina as her new coach. Shnaider, a former North Carolina State standout, was being coached by her father Maxim after splitting with coach Igor Andreev.
The 21-year-old will compete at Stuttgart on the purple clay subsequent week, which begins on April 14th.
“I’m excited to announce that Dinara Safina is becoming a member of my workforce as my new coach. The previous few months, I’ve been trying to find a partnership like this that I’m assured will likely be nice for me each on and off the courtroom. Dinara is clearly a legend, and I’m thrilled to see what we are able to do collectively,” Shnaider wrote on Instagram.
“Whereas taking the time to seek out this new partnership, I’m appreciative of my dad for serving to me out as my coach. My dad and mom and little brother are my greatest supporters in the entire world and I’m grateful for his or her continued assist and love – Dinara and I’ll see you all on the purple clay!”
