Gilles Cervara (born 2 January 1981) is a French tennis coach.[1] He has been a coach since 2007, and has worked full-time with Daniil Medvedev since summer 2017, helping him capture twenty ATP Tour singles titles and reach a career-high ranking of World No. 1.[2] Cervara's previous job as a hitting partner included such famous clients as Thomas Enqvist, Justine Henin, and Marat Safin.[3]
Cervara was chosen by his peers as Coach of the Year in the 2019 ATP Awards.[4] He was nominated for the award again in 2020 and in 2021, but the award was eventually bestowed on Fernando Vicente and Facundo Lugones, respectively.[5][6]
