Victoria Azarenka has begun working with a new coach, Michael Joyce, as she trains for her return to the WTA tour following the birth of her first child.

Azarenka had been coached by Wim Fissette and hitting partner Sascha Bajin, but both have begun working with other players during Azarenka's break from the game.
