Great raw honest article.

For once and for all id like to see Vika and Sasha no longer denigrated by the idea that he was stolen by her from Serena. Vika CALLED Serena to even ask if it was ok. I'm sure she's spent all year hearing that kind of idiotic gossip.

I just hope Vika has a productive off season. I really want a few more years of her at her peak. I know her body is injury prone and I don't think she'll have a career much past 30.

It is an honest assessment. I never thought she stole Sascha from Serena. I'm more concerned w/ is the partnership w/ him and Wim working more so than how Sascha got there. I could really care less about that part. They've been together a whole season and while we saw some of the old Vika surface here and there, it wasn't consistent enough for a title run. Maybe she should give the coaching team a few more months and see how things progress in the new year.

If you read the article I think its clear she thrives on consistency around her. I think she's not one of those players who can get a new coach and suddenly turn a new leaf. It seems to me like change hurts her even more.

For sure. I know she was shook up when the old coach left and went to Genie. And who knows. She may even end up w/ him again with the way the coaching carousel has been working.

I was starting to warm up to her just a bit because of the struggles she's going through, but then I keep seeing and hearing how she disrespects the umpires and others who are working hard to make the tournaments a success. I've always had a hard time liking her and she certainly doesn't make it any easier. And she seems like a person who doesn't give a hoot what someone thinks. Things are definitely more interesting when she's in the mix but meh. Go get an attitude adjustment while you're at it, Vicky.

Azarenka has a behavioral problem...Sumyk had managed to calm her down but Sascha is bring out that ugly side of Azarenka.She used to verbally abuse her portuguese coach it was hard to watch...now she has a cheerleader of her bad behavior in her hitting partner ...I had warmed to her a little but this year she made me dislike her.:popcorn

It makes me wonder even more how that whole situation with Sam happened. Im sure he's regretting it a lot. I don't imagine that Vika is the kind of person who would ask Sam back. He made a BIG mistake and now his credibility is definitely hurt especially after all he did for Vika.

If by warmed up you mean calling her fat for months in totally unrelated forums... That darn Azarenka how dare she gain any weight!

i am not really hard on her at all...I kinda feel sorry for her when she was dumped by Redfoo,had an injury and then Sumyk and her agent...she must have been depressed..thats too much for anybody.
I hope she controls her team and not let them have a power struggle...she needs order ..I dont hate Zenka but I detest Sacha..:popcorn
