Zheng Qinwen Coach
Qinwen Zheng is presently under the coaching guidance of Pere Riba. Riba, a former professional tennis player from Spain, achieved his career-best singles ranking of No. 65 in May 2011.
Zheng and Riba initiated their partnership at the beginning of 2021, parting ways after the French Open in 2023. Following their separation, Riba began coaching Coco Gauff, contributing to her victory in the US Open in 2023.
Post the split with Riba, Zheng enlisted the services of Belgian coach Wim Fissette. However, their collaboration was short-lived, as Fissette opted to work again with his former charge, Naomi Osaka.
Before the 2023 WTA Finals, Riba departed from Gauff’s coaching team due to personal reasons. Yet, a few days later, Zheng announced that she and Riba would be reuniting for the 2024 season.
In an Instagram post, Zheng expressed, “Reunited after some time apart, ready to embark on the journey together and prepare for the upcoming year.”
