Agassi and Djokovic: "It Depends On The Chemistry"

Andrew; Serena has basically given no 1 away but no one feels worthy of it. No WTA player is stepping up because it's like they all feel like no 1 is still for Serena. The Serena Syndrome is very real. Serena's ghost has a lot of players spooked

Gaurang: 1-7 is like the old days. That was a heartbreaker for DY as he has not won anything since the Fognini beat down in Key Biscayne. Have a bad feeling this loss could kill DY's year and he may not recover from this one.

Don't they all play the same?

The grunting varies a lot.

I would guess Rafa helped Verdasco with his gameplan to beat Zverev. Hsieh has been plagued by an ankle injury but suddenly scores one of her best singles wins. Chung is chugging his way up the rankings this year after injury issues last year.

Where the heck is Taylor Fritz??

It's a tough job for Andre because anything less than defending the title is a failure. Andre putting himself on the firing line from the get go.

You may wish, but the partnership is set in stone. Agassi won't be fired and I don't think he will quit in hurry.

Nah..no shame in loosing to Ferrer, probably one of the greatest clay court of his era. DY jr will regroup and head to the grass courts. He has all the tools to do well meaning make it to the 3rd round if he has a favorable draw and plays low risk consistency skilled tennis.

Do WTA players need scouting reports? Don't they all play the same?

At first glance you would think so, but there are a few players that have variety and their own style.

Yes it was a bad loss for AZ Andrew. It reminds me of young Federer losing to Luis Horna in three sets 76 76 64 (I believe) in the first round at RG.

The intrigue about the WTA tennis scene now is which player will step up to be the heir apparent to Serena? Will it be Bellis? Keys? Kasatkina? Ostapenko? Bertens? Konta? Kvitova? Bouchard? Robson? It will be somebody and we all are curious about who she will be...

Catherine; One thing we know about tennis with players like Dokic and Estrella and Harrison and Brian Baker and Capriati - we can never count anyone out. Robson has a lot of time to get her game and her fitness together. I would like to see Halep be the Queen Bee and I think she is capable of it but I can also see her getting to no 1 and after about a month just dropping like Kerber.

Very touching Chazz. Just heartbreaking for poor Steve but this once again proves how emotional adrenaline can lift a player to a higher level of performance. Always believed Johnson would be a top player, always saw specialness in the way he played and walked around at tournaments even when he was struggling in his early years. Huge huge win today vs a dangerous hungry desperate NEXTGENner.

I hope it will be Fanny Stollár She has great technique and she's a good competitor

Realistically, imo Ostapenko, she has awesome technique and aggressive, confident game and mindset...

Bouchard and Robson suck and they're old too.....

Whoa, Ons Jabeur beat Cibulkova? Jabeur is one of my favorites because she is so unique. She is a free spirit player who plays crazy shots and touch shots. I saw her hit two tweeners on the same point during a baseline rally and not a lob in US Open juniors years ago and kept an eye on her since. Did a Biofile a few years ago at US Open. She has struggled with injury and poor results but this is great to see her FINALLY getting a roll going.

 

[scoop]

Fanny has struggled since she left juniors but I spoke with her coach at Img in Dec and they went out to Vegas to work with Andre and Steffi but it's a slow process. Hungary also has another player the same age as Fanny who is rising slowly - Dalma Galfi. Have not see Stollar play but her coach likes her a lot but it's a long road.

Fanny this year already beat Vesnina http://www.eurosport.com/tennis/fan...-advance-in-charleston_sto6119624/story.shtml

I've been following Dalma Gálfi too, she actually had better results as a junior but Fanny has better game ...

This is what they wrote about her under this vid:

"What a ball striker! Tremendous speed through the contact, and such crisp clean timing.. Fanni Stollar from Hungary, currently training at IMG under the tutelage of Margie Zesinger.. Watch how she gets hips turned into that deep backhand (the 6th ball that she hits).. and effortless power on forehands.. Only 16"

Yes Margie is pretty high on her. She said the difficult part has been winning so much in juniors (losing only about five matches all year) and then losing every week at the WTA level is very hard for her to endure. She said Agassi and Steffi shared great advice with Fanny at their home in Vegas. Agassi was very emotional in expressing to her how important it is to enjoy her career. Another hard part Margie told me was how veteran players from Fanny's country would walk right by her and not even say hello. Not going to name the name but she's playing Roland Garros. Once she adapts to the cold reality of the WTA Tour she is one to watch out for. I was really impressed talking with Margie Zesinger. She's an outside the box thinker/coach.
