Guess who is the new coach of Ana Ivanovic… Thats right its Andy Murray’s girlfriends father! Andy Murray is with Kim Sears who happens to be the daughter of Nigel Sears. Nigel was the head of Women’s tennis at the LTA, but has now quit the day job to become Ana Ivanovic’s new coach.
“I couldn’t be happier,“ said Ana. “I’ve admired Nigel for some time now, and I can’t wait to start working with him on court.”
We have been informed that Paul Annacone will be leaving The Lawn Tennis Association as head coach for men’s tennis.
Annacone was brought in to try to lift Britain’s tennis fortunes. While Andy Murray is currently ranked No. 4, there are no other British men in the top 100. Annacone was recently replaced as a British Davis Cup coach following the team’s loss to Lithuania and demotion to the next-to-last tier of the competition.
Annacone will work with Leon Smith, the newly appointed head of men’s tennis, until the end of his contract.
