She will be trained on a part-time basis by adidas’ elite coaching staff during the Eastbourne and Wimbledon tournaments.
Meanwhile, Ivanovic has ceased working with coach Craig Kardon. Scott Byrnes will continue his role as Ivanovic’s full-time strength and conditioning coach.
“I’d like to thank Craig for all his hard work,” said Ivanovic in a statement released by her management. “He’s a great guy and I enjoyed working with him.”
Kardon began coaching Ivanovic at the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships in February. Prior to hiring Kardon as her full-time coach, Ivanovic had been working with Groeneveld as part of adidas’ training program for its sponsored players.
