New coach - new hardcourt season - new beginnings for Marat!
Friday 13 July 2007
Marat has today arrived in Los Angeles to begin the start of the US Open Series and the hardcourt season.
He is still very determined to get his season on track and as such Marat is pleased to announce the appointment of Hernan Gumy of Argentina as his new coach. They will start together from the Countrywide Classic in Los Angeles.
This change was unfortunately brought about by the fact that his good friend and coach Alexander Volkov has found that despite all his good intentions of being able to spend as much time as possible with Marat - his many other commitments have meant that he cannot give Marat the extra time he would like at this stage and so they have decided on an amicable parting.
Hernan Gumy had a successful tennis career as a player and since moving to coaching , he has coached Gustavo Kuerten, Guillermo Canas and most recently Guillermo Coria. As a Spanish speaker he and Marat are able to communicate and in a way Marat is returning to his roots - his career started out in Spain and with a Spanish coach. In fact in Hernan's last years as a player - he and Marat played in some of the same tournaments.
Marat said :
I am grateful to Sasha Volkov who in the last couple of years has always been there when I needed him, as a friend and coach, starting from Toronto 2000 and then the US Open 2000. He has been with me through many difficult periods of injury and I could always call on him as a friend.
He is in the US at the moment with the Russian Fed Cup team and then he has other commitments during the summer.
For me I feel that this summer is crucial for my career and I am determined to do something.
I felt encouraged after my matches in Wimbledon and although I did not beat Roger, I did feel that I started to play better in the 3rd set. Although I felt encouraged I also realised I need to do something with my game to make sure I get back where I want to be - in the Top 10.
So I know I need to get fitter and Miguel Maseo will be there as my fitness trainer.
And with a new coach I feel that I can bring something more to my game. I look forward to working with Hernan with his experience. It is a new start in time for the Hardcourt season. I do not have a lot of points to defend this summer so I want to work hard and do well. My ranking is now 22 and my goal is to get higher.
I know I can improve and I will do my very best to be there again.
