Okay, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my little adventure with Sofia Kenin’s coaching situation. It’s been a real rollercoaster, let me tell ya.

So, picture this: I started digging into who’s been coaching Sofia Kenin, right? First thing I found was that her dad, Alex, had been her coach forever. Like, her whole tennis career. But then, bam! News breaks that she’s letting her dad go as her coach. Can you believe it? After all those years! I was shocked, honestly. So, I kept digging.
Next, I stumbled upon this Max Wenders guy. Apparently, he started coaching her in the second half of 2021. New coach, new chapter, I guess. But that didn’t last long, if you can believe it.
- Point 1: Dad’s out.
- Point 2: Max Wenders steps in.
- Point 3: That partnership was short-lived.
Then, I read that Sofia was putting together a “new technical team.” That’s fancy talk for a new coach and maybe some other support folks. This was all happening right before the French Open, mind you. Talk about pressure!
While she was playing in Rome, I found out she didn’t have a coach with her at that time. She recently signed with some agency called GSE Worldwide. So, maybe they were helping her find a new coach. Who knows? The sports world is full of mysteries.
Here’s where it gets interesting. I found some more recent info suggesting that her dad might be back in the picture! I swear, this coaching situation is more dramatic than a soap opera. One day he’s out, the next he’s maybe back in. She said she was going to come back next season, whatever that means.

Some Extra Stuff I Learned
While I was down this rabbit hole, I also learned a few other things about Sofia. She’s American, even though she was born in Moscow. She is a really good player and has made a lot of money! Also, she’s only got an American passport.
Honestly, this whole thing has been a wild ride. One minute her dad’s coaching her, the next he’s not, then there’s some new guy, and now her dad might be back? It’s enough to make your head spin! I just wanted to share this whole crazy journey with you all because, well, it’s been quite the experience following along. Stay tuned, folks, because who knows what’s gonna happen next in the world of Sofia Kenin’s coaching!
I really hope you can learn something useful from my experience and share my feelings.
That’s all I want to share today.
