Former world No. 19 and six-time ATP Tour title winner Pablo Cuevas is embarking on a new journey as a coach. Cuevas, who recently retired from professional tennis, has been announced as the new coach for world No. 28 Francisco Cerundolo. This partnership marks Cuevas’ entry into the coaching world, and it’s an exciting development for Cerundolo’s career.
Cerundolo, known for his strong performances on clay courts, expressed his enthusiasm for working with Cuevas. “It wasn’t his idea to coach, but the project appealed to him,” Cerundolo said. “He can’t stay in Buenos Aires, but he’ll be present in Rio and Santiago,” he added, highlighting the flexibility of their arrangement.
Cuevas brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team, having navigated a successful career on the ATP Tour. His insights and expertise are expected to be invaluable as Cerundolo aims to solidify his position in the tennis world.
The collaboration between Cuevas and Cerundolo is set to begin during the South American clay-court tour, with Cuevas providing support and guidance in key tournaments. This partnership is a testament to the strong ties within the tennis community and the shared goal of achieving excellence on the court.
