Svetlana Kuznetsova has decided to split from coach Olga Morozova after just four months, and will now be coached by former world No. 18 Amos Mansdorf of Israel, she reported on her web site. It is the second time that Morozova and Kuznetsova have split. "I wanted to announce officially that we stopped working with Olga Morozova, but I can’t describe how much I appreciate her effort and positive energy as well as what she has given me," Kuznetsova wrote. "I want to congratulate her. A few days ago she became a grandmother!"
The 26-year-old Russian is in Barcelona, preparing for Fed Cup next week against the Czech Republic. She is there with Mansdorf and her physical trainer, Allistair McCaw.
