Pere Riba Madrid (in Catalan; Valencian ˈpeɾə ˈriβə/, pronounced as /es/; born 7 April 1988) is a Spanish tennis coach and former professional tennis player. He has been ranked as high as world No. 65 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he achieved in May 2011, and he attained his career-high doubles ranking of world No. 81 in June 2010. In his 16-year career, Riba won 21 titles in both singles and doubles on both the ATP Challenger Tour and ITF Men's World Tennis Tour; he reached his only Grand Slam 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]
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]
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.
He was the coach of Zheng Qinwen from 2021 until the summer 2023, helping her rise from world No. 169 to No. 7. He was coaching Coco Gauff with whom she won the WTA 500 in Washington, the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati and the US Open (2023).[4] He is currently back coaching Qinwen Zheng since December 2023[5] and under his tutelage, she reached the final of the 2024 Australian Open.
