After 14 months of cooperation, Bianca Andreescu was left without a coach at the request of Dutchman Sven Groeneveld. The player of Romanian origin began working with Sven Groeneveld in August 2021, but during this time the 22-year-old athlete did not have noticeable achievements, so the coach decided to stop working with her.

Bianca Andreescu, who is ranked 46th in the WTA rankings, is not having a good time as she was eliminated from the round of 16 in the last tournament she participated in, Guadalajara 2 WTA. Then the athlete from Canada ran into top-5 player Jessica Pegula, who defeated her in doubles 6-4.

At the age of 57, Sven Groeneveld was dissatisfied with the results achieved with her, so he decided to end the collaboration and look for another challenge.

“After more than a year of training Bianka, I decided not to continue the cooperation.

I look forward to new challenges in the men’s or women’s races. I wish Bianca and her team every success in the future.” – the message was published by him.

In recent years, the US Open 2019 champion has had serious problems with injuries, and in 2020 she did not play a single official match. This year, Bianca Andreescu won 19 matches and lost 12, and the most important performance was the final in Bad Homburg, lost to Carolina Garcia (7-6, 4-6, 4-6).

Sven Groeneveld has been coaching since 1990, and over time he has coached such athletes as Monica Seles, Aranta Sanchez Vicario, Mary Pierce, Ana Ivanovic, Caroline Wozniacki, Michael Stich, Greg Rusedski, Nicholas Kiefer, Tommy Haas, Maria Sharapova, Mario Ancic.
