Rafa? Fed? Novak? I think Fed could be a huge asset for Rune, but I doubt he has any interest in coaching.

Im talking about maybe JowillieTs of course not Roger or any of the big 3.. ONLY Lendl and Becker(GS winners with more than 7 GS ) whom have proven to be effective to reach players like Novak and Murray

I woke up to see Darderi won the first set from Struff in Halle! Yowza. Nice levels from both guys here in the 2nd set.

Entertaining match between Korda and Dimitrov. Early in the third Korda got a break in serve. Grigor upped his game and got the break back with some beautiful shotmaking. Nice day to be a spectator at Queen’s Club.

And Sebby pulls it off! Nice.

Chris needs some consistent winning streaks to get his confidence back.

Maybe Robin Soderling if he had any interest in coaching since he's Swedish and another Mighty Wiking (Viking / deliberate typo!) and therefore should get on well with him. Teach him how to power opponents off the court.

I'm thinking more of a Frenchie like JowillieTs who had a very flashy game and probably would still be able to give Holger some great practice sessions. It's not necessary but I remember years ago when I coached 8th grade boys basketball , afterwards listening to me for 3 weeks..I dusted off the old basketball sneakers and had my daughter and a high school basketball teammate scrimmage against my team. Totally changed their mindset because they had a chance to see the strategies and mindset I was trying to get them to buy into..No it's not necessary to be a good coach but it may help. I hope that makes sense. Holger could use a technician like Uncle Toni Nadal who could stress the importance of not taking points off.. playing every point like it's match point..that's why Federer, Nadal and Novak's games has dominated for so long. IMO

Seb does have a good game on the grass, hopefully he can go further with this win, in the tournament

Update on Frances Tiafoe, who hopes to play Wimbledon,
Frances has a 1 MCL sprain, will spend the next few weeks rehabbing to be ready for Wimbledon

Agreed. He had a really long injury lay-off.

 

[nehmeth]

Maroszan playing well against Sinner. Bit of a nervy first set, but both guys are settled in and on serve.

Hi,
I have just tuned into their match

 

[nehmeth]

Good aggressive rallies from these two. Fabian is making Jannik work for his service games.
