Estonian tennis star Anett Kontaveit has been in a brilliant form recently. The 26-year-old holds the WTA rank of world number two currently. Notably, Estonian has improved a lot after appointing Russian coach Dmitry Tursunov in August last year.

She was 30th in the world back then and has scaled up to World Number 2 now. However, the 26-year-old recently ended up her partnership with Tursunov and will play with a new coach from now on.

Anett Kontaveit to work with Torben Beltz

After splitting up with Tursunov, the Estonian has decided to team up with the German tennis coach Torben Beltz. He was most recently associated with the British tennis star Emma Raducanu but parted ways in April earlier this year. Notably, the German had been a long-term coach to former world number 1 Angelique Kerber. Under his guidance, she won the Australian Open and US Open back in 2016.

Earlier, Kontaveit revealed she had to part ways with her Russian coach Tursunov because of the visa issues that often occur because of his nationality and hence they decided mutually to split up. While Beltz is a proven tennis coach, Annet has improved a lot in the past year.
