Wanted and wanted: Argentine coaches become fashionable among world tennis elite

For some time now the tennis circuits have featured Argentine coaches. And the season that is about to begin with the United Cup will be no exception. It’s the one upon arrival of Franco Davino to the working group of Francisco Cerúndolo with the aim of strengthening the number 1 in our country –Kevin Confederak he will continue to be the leader of the group and who will accompany him most of the time – and off we go, why not? for a Grand Slam, confirmation has been added in recent days that two top 20 will have two other Argentine coaches on the bench.

After surprisingly breaking up with Wayne Ferreira (he left with the Chinese Yibing Wu), who in three years brought order and solidity back to his anarchy and brought him into the top ten and into the quarter final of the Flushing Meradows, the American Francesca Tiafoe16th in the world ranking, she chose Venadense Diego Moianoa renowned coach from the United States Tennis Association who had already worked with several players from that country and who had stopped seeing them in April. Cori Gauffthird in the standings.

Another who quickly found a job was Juan Ignacio Chela. After walking away from Diego Schwartzman -and with Leonardo Olguin– in September and I recommend for a handful of weeks to Juan Manuel Cerúndolo -your coach is Mariano Cappuccio-, joined the Chilean Nicholas Jarry19th in the ATP.

“I wanted to announce that next year I will work with Juan Ignacio Chela, who accompanied me during the pre-season in Barcelona where we had a great feeling. I am very happy to add him to the team; I think he can contribute a lot to me with his knowledge on and off the pitch,” Jarry said in a video via his social networks.

“In recent weeks we have worked a lot on the serve, on the first ball, on aggression and on reaching the net, seeking consistency in the return. But also strengthening the physical aspect,” he added.

Beyond the Argentinians, there have also been movements in the global coaching market. And the great news came from Rune Holger. The ambition of the young Dane is palpable in every statement and in every match and the movements he made around his team prove it.

If Rune had already given one of the big news at the end of the season with the hiring of Boris Becker as head coach, in a combination that will continue in 2024, in the preseason he added a piece of luxury. Regard Severin Luthithe Swiss who has been at Roger Federer’s side throughout his career and who will resume his career in the bank accompanying him.

Luthi had received many offers in recent months, but had never dared to take that step forward until the arrival of a Rune in which he also saw enormous potential.

Another name that moved the cards (again and goes…) was that of the Chilean Cristiano Garin. Looking to 2024 he will be alongside his compatriot Paul Capdeville and Russian Mikhail Youzhnywhich will return to the circuit after its connection with Denis Shapovalov. Garin’s goal is none other than to return to the elite, and to do so he will train with the person who brought the Canadian into the top 10 not long ago, although Capdeville will be the one who will accompany him in most weeks of action.
