Osaka? I mean, she did only make $15M last year due to mat leave, quite a drop from the $50M in 2022... I think she'll survive paying Mouratoglou

I think he meant Parks

Oh oops

Now Swiatek has split with her coach! Amicably, it seems

When somebody at the top parts with the coach, it strikes me as odd.
As in, there is something else they are not telling.

Maybe she has been rattled by her losses from Wimbledon onwards...this must be the 'personal matter' that caused her to pull out of Beijing ...

Polish media aren't reliable when it comes to tennis (and sports in general tbh)...

There may be a charlatan involved.....

When Mouratoglou was doing his soliloquy on talent alone vs talent/training/good coaching the first person to come to mind was Rune. It's obvious he's talented but like Shapovalov and Ben Shelton if he doesn't see the light about coaching, he will never reach his potential. Is he uncoachable? It's too soon to say that. I think he needs to take a strong stance and take his mother out of the equation when it comes to his career and stick with it. For better or worse Cori Gauff did it and it's worked for her.

I don't know if Holger has the precision needed in tennis. He can hit a great shot and then another one that sails out by quite a bit.
But he should be top 10. So, a coach needs to help him with margins of error.

Iga has hired Wim Fisette as her new coach.

I feel like that headline could have been written weeks ago.

Zero surprises there
