I would add that she has handled this so deftly. It can’t be easy for a teenager to say “mom and dad, thanks for everything; but time for me to hear some new voices”… She has threaded the needle, crediting the in-house team but also seeking outside counsel

Great, now they can continue to be coached by their parent.

Maybe Tsitsipas and Badosa can coach each other?!

...

No. They may talk to Coco and see that there are also other options out there. In Rune's case, it is not "Patrick or Mom/Dad". I am sure he can get any coach he wants (if available).

Had seats overlooking the Tsitsipas box for that match. Phillippousis bolted out of the stadium almost immediately - wonder if he knew his goose was cooked right then and there.

Or he had some gastrointestinal distress...

Probably what you said.

Let's follow the bouncing ball.

Pere Riba was coaching Zheng Qinwen. Her team, not her (take that however you want) decided Riba was crap because Qinwen didn't get a Slam. They picked Wim Fissette who had been coaching Naomi Osaka.

Fissette has now kicked Qinwen to the curb to go back to coaching Naomi while as we all know Pere Riba working with Brad Gilbert, got Cori Gauff a Slam. By doing this it seems Fissette broke the contract he signed with Qinwen. Oh, and Qinwen won the Gold Medal in tennis at the Asia Games.

Qinwen is calling Fissette "immoral" and says she and her family are really upset.

I wonder who will be playing who in Melbourne this coming January?
