Per digisport.ro Halep has fired her coaches Dobre and Marcu.
Say what now?!? She was just saying within the last two weeks that she was feeling good, feeling confident, and playing great...
And Cahill has already moved on.
Well... he has left her before, and then come back...
When they split this latest time, I said at the time that she will want him back soon. Because they certainly seemed to understand each other very well. He knew what she needed, and she trusted his judgement in assessing her needs. That's rare.
That said, she may have become too dependent upon him - and so feels lost without him. And so maybe this is a rare case where the player actually needs a coach - because without him, she is a rudderless boat. I don't think that's a good or healthy thing - but it seems to be the case here. I think she's too old to overcome that dependence in time to salvage the rest of her career. And I don't think there's enough time for her to break that dependence and separate from it enough psychologically to be able to successfully partner up with another coach.
Seeing Cahill at tournaments - in another player's corner - causes her to put even more focus on her dependence upon him, I feel.
