Swiss coach works for a television station and no commitment required by the Serbian tennis player
The Swiss Heinz Gunthardt is no longer the coach of the Serbian player Ana Ivanovic with whom he began to work last January.
Gunthardt obligations, which also works as a commentator on Swiss TV channel, were the reasons for the break, as the former world number one wants a full-time coach.
"I thank Heinz all the work he has done and for sharing their knowledge with me," said Anne in a statement. "We have had successes together and my game has improved. But summing up, I really need a full-time coach, who is with me in all competitions and training periods. Heinz has family and other obligations to respect, but he can not give me the kind of commitment I'm looking for
Gunthardt said in turn that if "Ana needs a coach by his side all the time" can not be him. "It was a pleasure to work with Anna, is very talented and I think the work we have done has worked. I wish him well," he said.
