Turkmenistan Fed Cup Team - Captains

Captains

Tennis coach Nelli Voynich is the current captain of the Turkmenistani Fed Cup team. She had previously coached the country's top Fed Cup player Anastasiya Prenko and upcoming junior Jahana Bayramova.

• Jenneta Halliyeva was the first captain of the Fed Cup captain, and also incidentally served as playing captain during her first year. While her team did not win any ties during her entire length as team, she did oversee the team's first victories in singles and doubles and, after she stood down as captain for Turkmenistan's return to competition in 2008, she became a regular player.
• Gulcha Byashimov took over as captain after the team returned in 2008. Prior to this, he had directed tournaments in Ashgabat, was the country's ITF junior tennis initiative coordinator, and had captained the Turkmenistan Davis Cup team. His period as captain saw Turkmenistan claim its first victories when, in 2008, they managed to defeat Sri Lanka and Syria to claim a surprise fifth placing. His team achieved similar success in 2011 and 2012, with at least two tie wins being made each year. These victories saw Byashimov's team ascend thirty ranking places during his time as captain, coming from No. 91 to a high of No. 63. However, despite 2012 being the team's best year to date, he did not return as captain for 2013.
• Nelli Voynich took over as captain in 2013, and she continued the team's streak of at least two tie wins per year since 2008. However, despite the team only managing seventh place during her first and only outing as captain, she did see the team achieve their highest ranking so far of No. 53.
