Passage about ivanovic coaching tenure[edit]

The following passage was added on 24 January 2012, detailing Günthardt's coaching tenure of Ivanovic. Its detail is excessive in an article of the current length of this one (WP:UNDUE), but it could be put more or less directly back into the article if the rest of it were made longer.

From February to November 2010 he coached former WTA World No. 1 Ana Ivanovic.^[1] Günthardt had previously not coached full-time since Steffi Graf announced her retirement in 1999.^[2]

By the time Günthardt started coaching her, she had just dropped out of the WTA's Top 20 as her confidence and form started to fall apart. Ivanovic lost her first match under Günthardt, against Anastasija Sevastova at Indian Wells, a result which saw her drop out of the WTA's Top 50.^[3] On court results did not improve throughout the year, and Ivanovic dropped to a career low of World No. 65 in July 2010, shortly after losing in the first round at Wimbledon. Günthardt tried to explain Ivanovic's decline in form by saying: "It's obviously a problem from tension, and it shows itself in the ball toss".^[4]

By the time Ivanovic entered Cincinnati in August, the Serb had lost 17 of her last 29 matches dating back to August 2009. From that point on, Ivanovic went on to win 21 of her last 27 matches and credited this revival to her hard work under Günthardt, and simply "having fun again", having fallen so far since winning the 2008 French Open.^[5] This run also included titles at Linz and Bali, and Ivanovic finished the season ranked World No. 17, inside the Top 20 for the first time in more than one year.^[6]^[7]

Günthardt ended his coaching relationship with Ivanovic shortly after her quarter-final loss to Caroline Wozniacki, who had just become the new World No. 1, at the China Open.^[8] This was put down to Günthardt's inability to coach and travel with Ivanovic full-time due to family responsibilities. He said that it had been "a pleasure to work with Ana and that the hard work she had been putting in started to pay off". Günthardt was not present when Ivanovic won her two titles at Linz and Bali.^[9]
