"She's gonna be ready to play tennis in five years": Coach and former hitting partner of Serena Williams believes daughter Olympia will follow in mothers' footsteps
WTAFriday, 28 July 2023 at 00:30
Sascha
Bajin commented on the possibility of coaching Olympia, the daughter of Serena
Williams.
The German
coach became known as the former hitting partner of the tennis legend when she
won several of her major titles. He also worked as a hitting partner with other
Grand Slam winners, such as Victoria Azarenka, Sloane Stephens, and Caroline
Wozniacki.
After his
experience as a hitting partner, he started working as the coach of former
world No. 1 Naomi Osaka and was with her when she achieved her first two Grand
Slam titles: the 2018 US Open and the 2019 Australian Open.
Bajin has
recently been working with the Czech player and also former world No. 1,
Karolina Pliskova. They joined forces in 2020 and worked together until July
2022. After a few months apart, they reunited in December 2022, but this week
they decided to part ways again.
The German
coach had words for Pliskova, an athlete who reached her only Grand Slam final
while working with Bajin at Wimbledon 2021, but she was defeated by Ashleigh
Barty.
"Hey
@KaPliskova thanks for giving it another go with me. Thank you for all the fun
moments and memories created. All the best from me to you and good luck at the
US Open. Hope you get your slam. Let’s see what’s next for me. Any suggestions
guys?" Bajin tweeted
A fan suggested on
Twitter that Sascha Bajin should train Serena Williams' daughter, Olympia, who
is 5 years old, to which Bajin responded
"Olympia
is Serena's blood, she gonna be ready (to play tennis) in 5. Yes, I ran into
Caroline at Wimbledon, she looked fit," he responded.
Olympia is Serenas blood, she gonna be ready in 5. 💪🏽😜😂😂 Yes I ran into Caroline at Wimbledon, she looked fit
The German
coach won the inaugural WTA Coach of the Year award in 2018 for his work with
Osaka, helping her secure her first two titles in Indian Wells and the US Open.
After
parting ways with Osaka, he worked with Kristina Mladenovic and Dayana
Yastremska before reuniting with Pliskova.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
