At the Tennis Club Celje, we are proud that our coach, Jan Dimitrijevič – who also works as a professional sparring partner – has once again become part of one of the most prestigious tennis events in the world. He was invited to the season-ending WTA Finals, which features the eight best singles players and the top eight doubles teams of the year. It is the biggest and most prestigious tournament on the women’s calendar right after the Grand Slams.
This was Jan’s second consecutive year participating at the tournament, where he had the opportunity to train with some of the biggest names in world tennis – including tournament champion Elena Rybakina, as well as Jasmine Paolini, Mirra Andreeva, Katerina Siniakova, Diana Shnaider, and many other top players.
For Jan, this was already his fifth major tournament as a sparring partner. In 2021 and 2022, he participated at the WTA 250 tournament in Portorož, and last year he was invited to Roland Garros and to the WTA Finals, where he also trained with players from the very top of the world rankings. For our club, this is an exceptional asset, as our players can train every day under the guidance of a coach who is involved at the highest level of world tennis.
We sincerely congratulate Jan for his excellent work and for yet another outstanding experience!
