Never heard of him before, but let's see how this works. I don't expect too much, so it can only be a surprise to us :lol:. I just hope it will be stable relation which can only be good to Vera's game.

He was actually quite a promising youngster. There was a lot of talk about him a few years back but he never delivered. You might know his elder sister Lina Krasnoroutskaya she used to play on the tour!

On her post-match press conference, after win over Stephanie Voegele ( Charleston 2012 ) she answers some questions about her coaching situation:
Q. Vera, can you confirm your coaching situation right now? Are you working with anyone? Vera Zvonareva: Yeah. Well, Scott Burns is helping me here. He's my fitness trainer, but he's helping me a little bit, like he was doing on court coaching today. But you know, like as of the moment I don't really have a coach.
Q. Vera, just one last question going back to the coaching, are you looking to hire a coach soon or are you kind of happy going at it alone? Vera Zvonareva: You know, I'm not in a rush, you know. As soon as I feel that I can -- soon maybe I'll meet a person that I feel like can help me, then you know, I will consider it. As of the moment I'm just, yeah, taking my time and trying to focus on getting my health back.
That's the priority at the moment. That's what we're working a lot on with my fitness trainer as well. We're implementing a lot of special work outs to help me recover
from all those injuries that I had. That's the priority, and then from there we will
see about the coach.
I don't know. I'd guess it's good that Vera has a coach again, but ill withhold commenting too much until i see what he does with her and the kind of results she gets with him as her coach. So i guess i just generally don't have much of an opinion on it at this point, lol. I most certainly hope things go well and Vera winds up back in the top again and finally wins a singles grand slam.
I believe Vespan was already with Vera during Wimbledon and OG, I am sure I read something about it (I think it was posted in the Off topic threat), but there was not much to work on lately. Let's see indeed first how it works out, I certainly like the idea her having a coach, I still thinks she needs one. Let's make a new start for everything, so a (steady) coach is part of that. At any age, a new coach can add something which brings you to a different level. See what happened to Petrova last weekend, after she started working with a new coach.
This thread is to add information about Vera's 2019 schedule. Any news or information on where she will play can be put here.
