Kerber has been coachless since ending her six-month collaboration with Rainer Schuettler in July, and 2019 has seen her ranking slip from World No.2 at the end of 2018 to its current World No.20. Kindlmann, a former ATP World No.130, previously worked with Madison Keys in 2017, the year the American reached her sole Grand Slam final at the US Open, followed by Elise Mertens in 2018 and Ajla Tomljanovic in 2019.
