ÖTV top talent Anna Pircher gets new coaches
The 16-year-old from Tyrol will be coached by Daniel Huber, among others. He has previously mentored several Top 100 players.
Tennis talent Anna Pircher is embarking on a new path.
As reported by the "Tiroler Tageszeitung", the 16-year-old Austrian has a new coaching duo in Daniel Huber and Luca Maldoner.
Just in July, the Tyrolean tennis talent made uncomfortable headlines after the separation from her former coach and manager Hannes König led to a legal dispute.
Huber worked with several well-known names
However, with Huber, Pircher has now found a new coach who is a respected figure in his field in Austria.
He is the founder of the "Gamechange Tennis Base" in Vomp and has previously coached former Top 100 players from Austria, including Patricia Mayr-Achleitner, Yvonne Meusburger, and Andreas Haider-Maurer.
"Anna has enormous talent and brings everything needed. We want to support her best possible on her journey," Huber is quoted by the "Tiroler Tageszeitung".
Maldoner's role will be to accompany Pircher on tour. The 27-year-old was once active on the ITF Tour himself.
Great Talent
Pircher already demonstrated her great talent last year when, at 15, she reached the semifinals of the W75 tournament in Vienna.
This year, she reached the quarterfinals in the junior competition at Wimbledon. At the US Open, her journey in the junior category recently ended in the first round.
