Jasmine Paolini has officially announced Marc Lopez as her new coach, marking a fresh chapter in her tennis career. The Italian player, who recently parted ways with Renzo Furlan after a decade-long partnership, will now work with the Spanish coach starting from the WTA 500 tournament in Stuttgart.
Marc Lopez, a former doubles champion and Olympic gold medalist alongside Rafael Nadal, brings a wealth of experience to Paolini’s team. This will be his first role as a head coach, and expectations are high as he aims to guide Paolini through the clay-court season, including the prestigious Roland Garros.
Paolini expressed gratitude for her time with Furlan, acknowledging his significant role in her growth as a player and person. Now, with Lopez by her side, she looks forward to building on her recent successes and taking her game to the next level.
