World No. 13 Diana Shnaider has expressed her expectations for the beginning of her collaboration with Dinara Safina.
“I feel that Dinara can assist me with mental stability because she has played professionally herself. She is familiar with the pressure I experience on the court. She understands what I face, so she can advise me on how to cope with it,” Shnaider stated in an interview with Tennis.com.
“On the court, I need advice during crucial moments. Sometimes I overthink, and everything goes wrong. Perhaps I should use my backhand more often, play closer to the net, add variety, and build combinations. But the main thing is psychology. I believe she will help me strengthen my mental game,” the tennis player added.
