Günthardt was the coach ofSteffi Graf from the start of 1992 until the end of Graf's tennis playing career in July 1999, and he also worked briefly withJelena Dokić andJennifer Capriati.[2]
From February to November 2010, he coached former world No. 1Ana Ivanovic.[3] He had not coached full-time since Graf's retirement in 1999.[4] When Günthardt started coaching her, Ivanovic had dropped out of the WTA's top 20, and she dropped to a career low of world No. 65 in July 2010.[5] During their partnership, Ivanovic recovered to world No. 17[6][7] before Günthardt ended his coaching relationship with her due to family responsibilities.[8]
