Re: The Tennis Coaching Merry Go Round
I wonder if Garcia's father started to get in the way at the US Open - he hadn't been at any of the tournaments where Garcia did well over the summer - and this caused some issues for the relationship between coach & player.

Yes, Raducanu's parents are involved in her tennis.
But who's to say that her father controls everything?
As always, some supportive concrete evidence would be nice to have to accompany the accusation.

Re: The Tennis Coaching Merry Go Round
Had the same thought and even when I saw him at the US Open, I posted somewhere that I hope he's there just as a father and not getting involved. Everything seemed very good up until that point, seemed like an overall positive feeling to the entire team. Hope it's not the case with her dad, but that's basically what seemed to happen to Camila Giorgi last year as well, so not at all hard to imagine.skatingfan wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 9:52 pm I wonder if Garcia's father started to get in the way at the US Open - he hadn't been at any of the tournaments where Garcia did well over the summer - and this caused some issues for the relationship between coach & player.

Exactly. Will work wonders with her if she wants to learn to use a Katana, but a tennis racquet...

Here's a bio for him. Previously worked with Team China and Team Britain, and most importantly for this hire, worked for Team Canada and was one of Bianca's coaches as a junior.

You've missed out on The Highlander series.

Re: The Tennis Coaching Merry Go Round
You think a US open champion needs to be taught how to use a racket,?!

An obvious joke, if you ever saw HIGHLANDER (The Movie).
