Talk About Tennis 2.0

I guess it depends a bit on what the player needs ..i don't think Alcaraz needs help on technique..he probably needs someone to teach him to think like a champion, day in and out. Ferrero was only a B plus there...someone like Agassi maybe...

A guy that at age 21 has already won 4 slams... I don't know how much of a champion´s mentality he lacks.

I'm confused... This coaching change has nothing to do with Emma Raducanu...

Renzo wants to be Emma's coach, for two weeks. Jasmine indulged him.

am a bit concerned for Veronika Kudermetova.. she is really going backwards.. wonder if she needs a coach other than her husband?!

Maybe she reached her peak, and this is her real level.
Maybe?

maybe, but she was better than this, a genuine top 10 player..solid ground strokes, a bit slow on her feet but still, a powerful hitter..and a very good volleyer from her doubles background

good move, she (Shnaider) has been sliding lately, maybe a good coach will help..good to see Marat and Dinara both opting to coach now.

But I wonder what can Dinara bring.

How to win matches without ever hitting a winner...which is advice Shnaider could actually use.
