Svetlana Kuznetsova is trying to work out a coaching contract with Amelie Mauresmo’s former coach, Loic Courteau. The Russian is hoping that he will join her in Montreal.
Kuznetsova also talked to her former doubles partner Mauresmo about coaching her, but doesn’t think that the Frenchwoman wants to go back on tour full time again. The retired Mauresmo recently helped coach Michael Llodra at Wimbledon.
