Change in the staff of Elena Rybakina (WTA 5). The 25-year-old Kazakh, winner of Wimbledon in 2022, hired Goran Ivanisevic for the 2025 season. The Croatian was Novak Djokovic’s coach until the end of March.
Rybakina, who parted ways with her longtime coach Stefano Vukov just before the US Open, “delighted with this partnership” and was full of praise for Ivanisevic. “He is a great champion, who has a lot of experience and I can’t wait to start working with him. It’s a big change, but a good change.”
The Croatian, who successfully brooded Djokovic for 5 years – 9 Grand Slam titles during their collaboration – for his part it “excited to get back on tour and join the Rybakina team“.
An end to the season between illness and injury
The world No.5, who had a successful first 6 months with titles in Brisbane, Abu Dhabi and Stuttgart, was subsequently forced to miss several events due to illness and then injury.
She notably had to give up the Paris Olympic Games, weakened by bronchitis, and gave up in the 2nd round of the US Open after injuring her lower back.
