Pliskova Hires Conchita Martinez as Full-Time Coach

Karolina Pliskova has announced her full-time partnership with Conchita Martinez, and will no longer work jointly with Rennae Stubbs.

The change in arrangement was reported by WTA Insider Courtney Nguyen from Madrid.

“I think the best weeks are coming.”

"I had the chance to work with the both of them for a while and I think there were good things and bad things about changing the weeks," Pliskova told reporters at all-access hour in Madrid, according to Nguyen. "So I decided to work with Conchi only because I like the work, so there's no reason why I should have somebody else on the team."

Pliskova saved four match points in her first-round match against Dayana Yastremska on Sunday at Madrid. The Czech is currently second on the WTA Tour in wins in 2019 with 22.

Pliskova had been working with Stubbs before she added Martinez to her team. Stubbs could not commit to a full-time schedule due to her duties as an ESPN commentator.
