Heinz Gunthardt is Ana's new coach
02/22/10
Ana is working with her new coach, Heinz Gunthardt of Switzerland, who coached former world's #1 Steffi Graf and Jelena Dokic before.
Graf won 12 grand slam titles with Gunthardt, while this fact might not mean anything since Graf was already a multiple grand slam champion when Gunthardt started to coach her, it does give the coach credibility and hopefully, he will be able to work on what needs to be fixed in Ana's game and confidence.
Gunthardt will be with Ana when she plays the BNP Paribas Showdown in New York next week.
It's very positive that Ana has finally realized she needed a full time coach and that the Adidas coaching program, designed more to help up and coming players, was not working for her.
Ana needs to be patient, it's unlikely that there will be a huge improvement overnight, but she is headed in the right direction. Unfortunately, she wasted a lot of time before making this decision but that time is gone and now she needs to look at the future, there still will be disapointments but she needs to keep working hard and believing she can do it, and trust her coach.

Ana to play BNP Paribas Showdown
02/21/10
Ana has been named as a replacement for the injured Serena Williams at the BNP Paribas Showdown for the Billie-Jean King Cup in New York on March 1st.
The event is running for the 2nd year at Madison Square Garden and the idea is to feature the 4 Grand Slam champions of the previous year. The exhibition will be played from the semi-final stage and each semi-final is 1 set with no-advantage scoring, and a best-of-13 point tiebreak played should the score reach 6-6. The final is 3 sets.
Ana will play Kim Clijsters and Svetlana Kuznetsova will take on Venus Williams in the other semi.
