Sascha Bajin is one of the most appreciated coaches in the world. The German spent many years as the hitting partner of Serena Williams. Later, as soon as he partnered with Naomi Osaka, the Japanese reached greatness to win 2 slams and a prestigious tournament in Indian Wells. However, Sascha and Naomi parted ways for “mysterious” reasons soon after Osaka won the Australia Open and the German partnered with Kiki Mladenovic for the rest of the season with good results.
The split with Mladenovic and the rumors about coaching Kerber and being back with Osaka and
A few days ago, Kristina Mladenovic announced that she was basically dumped by “Big Sascha” that decided not to coach her in 2020. Of course, that sparked rumors that he may be back with Naomi Osaka that she is currently coachless. The former world no.1 stated that she would have rehired another coach for the next season. There was also another rumor around that Bajin was about to join fellow German Angelique Kerber, but that will not happen.
Bajin helping Kim Clijsters in her comeback?
Now there is a “news” circulating in the social media that Bajin will help Kim Clijsters to stage her comeback in pro-tennis. The German is expected to work with the Belgian during the off-season and to coach her in 2020.
We are now just waiting for the official announcement.
