After ending her collaboration with Safina, Shnaider finds a coach for Roland-Garros

World No. 11 Diana Shnaider is heading to Roland-Garros with high ambitions. However, the Russian player, who initially planned to be accompanied in Paris by Dinara Safina (their partnership ended ten days ago), has secured a new coach.

According to information from the account @Parsa_Nemati on X (formerly Twitter), Shnaider has decided to hire Marius Copil, a former ATP No. 56, for the Roland-Garros fortnight.

The 34-year-old Romanian, who has not played on the tour since last year, will be on a trial basis. It remains to be seen whether Copil’s expertise and guidance will make a difference for Shnaider, who was eliminated in the quarterfinals in Rome this week by Jasmine Paolini.
