Brad Gilbert and Andre Agassi played 8 ATP matches before Gilbert retired as a tennis player and later became Agassi's coach.

Amelie Mauresmo and Marion Bartoli played 5 WTA matches before Mauresmo retired as a tennis player and later became Bartoli's coach.

I am sure there are more examples like these in the world of tennis, but cannot think of any. Any ideas?

Sampras and Paul Annacone played once. Agassi and Darren Cahill also played twice during the overlap of their careers. I would imagine some of the younger coaches (like Roger Rasheed for example) might have played some of the players they've coached.

  • I just checked for Roger Rasheed, he is not one of the examples, hence I'll remove the part mentioning him in your answer.
