I personally would like to see Annacone go and have him get some new blood in there.

Rog ain't no dirty blood doper ;) Seriously though I'd like to see him maybe try a different coach too.

that is a great suggestion. it may be time to let annacone go.

can you list some coaches that would be considered good candidates for such an assignment?

Melanie Molitor may be worth a try.

At this point he needs a motivational coach more than someone going over the X's and O's. I'd love to see him give Jimmy Connors a try but that is definitely not happening.

perhaps a panel of part time consultants for roger:

here is a good panel:

1. Connors
2. Sampras
3. jose higueras
4. jimmy arias
5. muster`s fitness expert
6. world renowned shrink

he is going to have to work harder than ever before general.


its just that simple.


also part of this decline is self imposed. but the end result has been some drop in his confidence level.

he is not willing to dig in, fight like hell, and grind a little bit.

translation: he is the architect of some of this decline.


robredo is not better than roger and yet he ran off with a straight sets win in flushing meadows.

I have created a new category at Camelot general masterclass.


I just posted a link to your excellent blog article there.


one thing to note about that doubles activity which, as you know, you and I have both been advocating for quite sometime now:

winning in doubles will help refurbish his confidence to some extent for singles.

also there is a social aspect to doubles as well. he can try to have some fun in doubles. it will do him good.

Murray and Federer should trade coaches. I can see a lot of positives for both.;)

Lendl would be excellent too but as for available coaches I say Connors. He was also an all time great who had good success at an old age and kept the fire burning. He also wouldn't take any crap from Roger.

Connors was technically washed up before he retired from the tour! He was just hanging on like a ghost with obviously no life to go to afterwards! So sad to see this grizzled old guy trying to hang with kids closing in on 40! Who did he think he was, Ken Rosewall? :laydownlaughing :snigger - He became so desperate to become relevant, he had to write that stupid book exposing personal stuff about Evert; and I never even cared for her! It was just low and very inconsiderate! What an idiot!

roger still has a few remaining events to work with this year. that may give us additional information that we seek.

does anybody have his schedule for the remaining events this year?
