I know who Piatti is but I didn't know he ran an academy. I think this is less a coaching change than an attempt for Raducanu to get some work in on clay. I can't imagine her changing coaches now.

Exactly. And yeah Piatti is very established.

This makes me think Serena is functionally retired, as we discussed in a different thread the other day. "I had a conversation with Serena, and the door opened, at least short term, for me to work with someone else."

Serious question. Why is this man so highly regarded as a coach? He took on Serena, a fully formed player, and made her reach what new heights?
Again, serious question. I just don't see why people think he is a good coach.

You're not the only one who feels that way. Serena just needed tweaks to her game and he was able to do that. Actually Simona is the same in that she doesn't need to develop a new game she needs to tweak how she plays and keep control of her emotions on court.

I think the big thing is if she'll listen to him like she did with Cahill.

I think Serena won 10 Slams with him and gives him a lot of credit. There’s so much more to coaching than tweaking building someone’s game. You have to get the best out of that player. Every last drop. I think I he did that with Serena. And he coaches other top players. And he is a fantastic self-promoter (hey, he has a business). Players continue to go there so I’m sure he is darn good.

He genuinely loves the sport, that’s for sure. Personally, I love his tips online.

Serena just hinted today that she's aiming to be back on the court for Wimbledon.

The Aaron Rogers thing? Who knows. She could be effing with us. :/ But I tend to think she will play Wimbledon again, maaaybe the US Open, and that’s it.

Her TikTok post today was still weird, but slightly less cryptic.

Second that. I would not go into TikTok if they were giving away prizes. But please do tell.

It's a 5 second clip of her running down the hallway of a hotel room in a gold dress to Track Star by Mooski accompanied by the words "on my way to Wimbledon"
