Lucky Letcord Podcast: Olivier Jeunehomme on Justine Henin Tennis Academy and the Future of Dayana Yastremska

Today on the Letcord Podcast we are visited by Olivier Jeunehomme, current coach of Dayana Yastremska and longtime coach at the Justine Henin Tennis Academy.

After starting his career with the Belgian Tennis Federation, Jeunehomme worked as a part of Henin's team along with Carlos Rodriguez, before he joined the Belgian legend at the Justine Henin Tennis Academy.

He coached Irina Kromacheva and Sofya Zhuk prior to beginning his partnership with 19-year-old Yastremska last year. All of his players have had tremendous success, and Yastremska has blossomed in the time that Jeunehomme has worked with her, winning her first three WTA titles and rising to 32 in the world.

We chat with Jeunehomme about his beginnings in tennis, how he started working with Henin and his partnership with Yastremska.

We discuss the future of Yastremska, who is currently the second-highest ranked teenager in tennis, and what they have established as goals for the grass season as well as the rest of 2019 and 2020.
