Pere Riba Madrid (Catalan: [ˈpeɾə ˈriβə], Spanish: [ˈpeɾe ˈriβa maˈðɾið]; born 7 April 1988) is a Spanish tennis coach and former professional player. He has been ranked as high as No. 65 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he achieved in May 2011, and No. 81 in doubles in June 2010. Riba won 21 titles in singles and doubles on both the ATP Challenger Tour and ITF Men's World Tennis Tour. He reached one major quarterfinal in doubles, at the 2010 French Open.
Following his retirement, Riba has coached and collaborated with several players on the WTA Tour, including Coco Gauff and currently Zheng Qinwen.[1]
Professional
[edit]Riba was coached by former Spanish player Jordi Arrese and the last coach in his career and still part of his confidence inner circle Edu Grosso.[2][3]
Coaching career
[edit]He was the co-founder of GRTennis with Marcel Granollers based in Barcelona (Real Club Polo de Barcelona) focusing on junior development and professional tennis players alongside Edu Grosso from 2017 until 2020.[citation needed]
Riba was the coach of Zheng Qinwen from 2021 until the summer 2023, helping her rise from world No. 169 to No. 7. He then coached Coco Gauff, with whom he won the WTA 500 in Washington, the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati and the US Open (2023).[4] He is currently back coaching Zheng Qinwen since December 2023[5] and under his tutelage, she reached the final of the 2024 Australian Open.
