{babes} Ivanovic splits from coach

 

LONDON -- Former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic has split from coach Heinz Gunthardt despite a recent return to form.

Ivanovic has been working with Steffi Graf's former coach since March, and has improved her ranking from No. 58 to No. 24, ending a two-year title drought in Linz last month.

However, Gunthardt was unable to travel with Ivanovic full time and that appears to have resulted in the end of their working relationship.

The 22-year-old Serb said in a statement she needs "a full-time coach who is with me at all tournaments and during training periods."

Ivanovic has struggled for form and confidence since winning her only Grand Slam title at the French Open in 2008 and claiming the No. 1 ranking.
