"I've never spoken to Goran," Paolini dismisses rumors of collaboration with Ivanisevic

Jasmine Paolini, ranked 9th in the world, was at the center of rumors regarding Goran Ivanisevic joining her team.

The speculation originated from the *Served* podcast, hosted by Andy Roddick and journalist Jon Wertheim, which reported that the Croatian would begin working with the Italian player during the North American tour.

However, the news was denied this Sunday by the outlet *Ubitennis*, which spoke directly with Paolini: "I’ve never spoken to Goran Ivanisevic, I’ve never contacted him."

The world No. 9, who lost her opening match in Montreal, is currently being coached by Federico Gaio. After her second-round exit at Wimbledon, she ended her partnership with Marc Lopez.
