Young Slovenian tennis player Tamara Zidansek continues to surprise everyone at Roland Garros. Zidansek, who has never been past the second round at Grand Slam tournaments, will play in the semifinals of the French Open. She defeated Spain’s Paula Badosa in three sets and will now play Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to advance to the finals.
Who is behind the progress of the tennis player? Her team, of course.
Tamara Zidansek current coach is Marjan Cuk
Tamara’s team includes her coach Marjan Čuk, formerly her team manager, physical fitness specialist Pancho Alvariño from Spain, and psychotherapist Matej Luneznik

It is worth noting that Tamara’s coach is not too surprised to reach the semifinals of the Grand Slam competition.
Marjan Cuk, Zidansek’s coach : “I can’t say I’m surprised to see her in semi-finale. We had a wish. She has a nice game for clay. I knew she would have a possibility some day. It’s happening now. Let’s enjoy.”
