Caroline will face a stern test in defending her AO title. Lots of vets, young guns, next gen, etc will be gunning for the year's first major.

There's always a coaching carousel at the start of the tennis season.
- Pliskobot is with Renee Stubbs as of late last season.
- Venus has parted ways w/ David Witt after 11 years
- Simona is coachless as Cahill will be spending more time at home
- Kerbie dumped Wim Fissette and picked up Rainer Schuttler
- Konta dumps Michael Joyce after disappointing season and picks up Dimitri Zavialoff
- Vika rehires Wim Fissette
- Genie dumps Lansdorp and hires Michael Joyce
- Svitolina dumps Ascione and hires Andrew Bettles and Nick Saviano
- Keys hires Jim Madrigal

This is old news. But, I did not delve into details at that time. The sad story of Jelena Dokic and her abusive dad. Is she still playing?

 

[Tenfan63]

Yes.

Sorry to hear that. I thought he did a great job

He did. He used to coach her from the stands just like all the other coaches do. She looks completely lost w/o him. She got whipped by Konta the other day in a non spirited match.

Zebras aside, I still like the Adidas garb best. Woz wears it well, although I prefer her red outfits the best.

Hmm I’m late to this but on court coaching could possibly be allowed next year at AO and USO! Yay I guess... kstate2 posted abou Simona’s mom blatantly coaching in the audience this tourney!

Hi Hoergren

I totally agree that Stosur should stick to doubles full time, I have said this many times last year,great win for her and Zhang coming in unseeded.
