Sam Sumyk (born 1967 or 1968) is a French tennis coach who currently coaches WTA world number three and 2016 French Open champion Garbiñe Muguruza. He has also previously worked with former world number one Victoria Azarenka, former world number two Vera Zvonareva, and 2014 Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard.
Sumyk is married to former WTA player Meilen Tu, whom he coached to her highest career ranking of 35 in 2007.
Prior to 2010, Sumyk coached Russian Vera Zvonareva, who first entered the top ten briefly in 2004 before injuries threatened to derail her career. After the pair split in 2009, Sumyk switched with António van Grichen and became the coach of Victoria Azarenka.
The partnership between Sumyk and Azarenka would be a successful one. In his third year coaching Azarenka, the Belarusian won her first Grand Slam title at the 2012 Australian Open and reigned as the world number one for 51 of the 55 weeks that followed, during which she also successfully defended her Australian Open title in 2013. Sumyk split from Azarenka shortly after the 2015 Australian Open, after the Belarusian endured an injury-plagued 2014.
