BERN, Switzerland (AP) — The Swiss Tennis Federation has appointed Steffi Graf’s former coach, Heinz Guenthardt, as captain of its Fed Cup team.
Swiss Tennis says Guenthardt will begin his role in a World Group second-tier playoff against Belarus on April 21-22.
Guenthardt replaces Christiane Jolissaint, who stepped down after a 4-1 loss to Australia next month.
Guenthardt coached Graf during the 1990s and helped her win 12 of her 22 Grand Slam singles titles.
