Svetlana Kuznetsova: coachless but successful

It was in Miami, on March 31, the press conference with Svetlana Kuznetsova after her match against Caroline Wozniacki.

Asked about her coach, the Russian revealed some breaking news: She had just split with her coach, Olga Morozova after Indian Wells: "We kind of didn't get each other tennis-wise and outside-wise.[...]We just decided it's not working out for both of us."

The cut seems to do Kuznetsova good: After various dissappointing early defeats, she reached the singles semifinals in Miami, losing against the later champion, Victoria Azarenka.

And she even won a title! Kuznetsova and Amélie Mauresmo from France played a fantastic doubles tournament - having entered the draw with a wildcard! They defeated 4-6, 6-3, 10-3 Kveta Peschke/Lisa Raymond in the finals.

Despite this obvious increase in form, Kuznetsova assured that she's going to search for a new coach.
