I have had the theory that the one player that could have challenged Nole was Andre. He used to play on top of the base line, and was aggressive from there.
Maybe he can teach Rune to move forward just a little. Holger is not a huge hitter of the ball, so he needs to take time away from his opponents. Andre can help a bit. Maybe.
OTOH: Andre's track record with Dimitrov was not impressive. The little time with Novak is meaningless, because a blind donkey could coach Novak to a slam semi.

One of the most .... sickening (?) father/son relations ever, in any sport.
I am sure Apostolos means well. But Stefanos and him don't work well on court.
Give the reigns to mom. Can be better.

See her start improving now.
He is simply not a good coach. What he is good at is self promotion.

Mouratoglou is who you go to to refine your game. Naomi has to rebuild her game and needs someone else. Too bad Witt isn't available.

Totally disagree. That is his weak point, in my opinion. He really does not know how to polish somebody to perfection.
I remember one video in which he was training Serena on how to slide on clay. And, to me, he had it all wrong. He was telling her to push with her outside leg after finishing a slide, and that will only bring you down.
That is why he puzzles me. He seems not to know some fine details.

Two people I know who are or were tennis coaches agree with you.
