Renzo Furlan has been recognized as this season's Coach of the Year (as voted on by WTA registered coaches) for his instrumental role in making Jasmine Paolini one of 2024's star performers. Paolini started the year as a Top 30 player but by the end of her history-making season had risen to No.4 in the world, having won her first WTA 1000 title at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, reached back-to-back Grand Slam finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon and qualified for her first WTA Finals in both singles and doubles.
A former ATP player himself with a career-high ranking of No.19, Furlan also coached Paolini to three Top 10 wins this season in addition to her and partner Sara Errani's gold medal in doubles at the Paris Olympics.
