Kuznetsova parts company with coach Olga Morozova

Russian tennis star Svetlana Kuznetsova has decided to split from her coach Olga Morozova and will now be coached by the Israili former world No. 18 Amos Mansdorf.

The world No. 25 had problems with Morozova in the past, splitting up in late 2009 only to rehire her at the end of 2011.

«I wanted to announce officially that we stopped working with Olga Morozova, but I can’t describe how much I appreciate her effort and positive energy as well as what she has given me,» Kuznetsova said on her website.

The 26-year-old Russia said she hopes to get back to her best and return to the Top-10 with the help of her new mentor.

«I started to work with Amos Mansdorf, big fans of tennis for sure [have] heard of him as he was a very good tennis player,» Kuznetsova said, adding that she is set to begin preparations for Russia’s Fed Cup semi-final against Serbia in Moscow on April 21-22.
