Daniela Hantuchova hires Ricardo Sanchez as new coach

Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova will have a new coach prior to the start of the 2014 season.

The 30-year old former world number five has hired Ricardo Sanchez as her new coach. Sanchez has worked with a number of tennis stars including former top-ranked Jelena Jankovic and Caroline Wozniacki. Hantuchova recently worked with Eduardo Nicolas.

“We have known each other for years so the transition has been very natural,” Hantuchova said on Facebook account. “I’m looking forward to all the hard work and excited about the work we have already done last week in Spain!”
