Hopefully, the first of many for Linda. I really like her game. She just needs to be more consistent.

Hopefully, the first of many for Linda. I really like her game. She just needs to be more consistent.

Linda is a offensive player, actually so is Miss Sun, though I think I have pointed this out to you before regarding Linda she needs to lose weight, I am not body shaming, it is just other players can move her around the court, with ease and she cant keep up, players expose this area with results, she is only 19 and that is an area she needs to work in the gym and have a sensible diet

Definitely agree. All Linda needs to do is hire a nutritionist to get her into better shape. The rest will take care of itself.

Am I missing anybody?

Judy Murray would be great though she is tied up with promoting junior tennis and work shops these days
Andy Murray would be great too though he has just retired and I think he would want some time off, though he has always been a great supporter of womens tennis
No to Patrick he has a potty mouth and makes it all about himself
Lendl I dont think he wants to be tied down as a coach full time
Sasha well he didnt do much for Oskaka, Pliskova Yastemska when he coached them?
Goran could fix Coco's serve?
Boris I cant see him being a good fit for Coco
Okay I think Chandra Rubin would be a good fit for Coco out of the remaining coaches

Okay Keli on that list who do you think?

I think Chandra would be a good fit too, but I don't know that she wants to coach. She hasn't really expressed any previous interest and she has young kids she may not want to be away.

I don't agree that Sascha didn't help Naomi. It's because of him that she got slam tough and won her first 2 slams. I think they had a personality conflict and that's why it ended. I thought he was great for her game. Explained the importance of getting fit, being consistent and just owning that champions mentality.

Yes, Goran could fix it. Does he want to want to work w/ a female?

 

[kskate2]

I just remembered, Craig Boynton is newly available after his breakup w/ Hubie. He's a technical guy, I think he could fix her mechanics too.

I think Coco needs a coach that is a good fit all round, I dont know if Goran would want to coach a female, and I dont think it would be a good fit

Good thinking he is a very experienced coach and technical and also he could do something with fhand, and her serve

 

[kskate2]

I think Coco needs a coach that is a good fit all round, I dont know if Goran would want to coach a female, also just to correct her serve?

I mean she could keep Brad as her overall coach and just bring on a specialist (consultant) to fix the serve and another one if needed to address the FH.

Well Craig Boynton would fit the bill for the serve and the FH, he is good at technical matters

 

[kskate2]

Yes and I think he's American if that's a requirement for her.

Sascha would be my first choice because she needs that FH corrected.. Here's a stretch.. How about someone like Hingis's Mom or Hingis herself?

No not Sascha, I cant see him a good fit for Coco
Keli and I are thinking of Hubi ex coach Craig Boynton a good technical man that can fix the serve and the FH and he is American

 

[kskate2]

I remembered one other person and he's expressed an interest in helping her if she reached out: Jimmy Arias

Yep Arias would also be a good fit.
Though do you think he would want to work just as a consultant to Brad, he also does commentates dosent he?

I'm not sure what Jimmy's desired engagement would be. Not everyone wants to give up their "day job" and travel on the tour w/ a player. It really will come down to who she clicks with and what is their preferred schedule.
