she needs to stick w/ the same game plan but she has got to serve better. 38% will not get it done against the top 10 and surely not against #1

that was an underwhelming game to relinquish her serve

Will someone for the sake of sanity explain to me why do Coco consistently hit the swash FH during a rally! She looses control of the rally..I know Patrick has to been advising her that's a no no . Well just my two cents worth

but this is what I meant by he can can coach her until the cows come home, but she's the one that has to execute the shots. If she doesn't see that she's losing the plot w/ that shot, there is no coach on earth that can help that. At some point she has to be able to see what's working and what's not inside the match and make the necessary adjustments

Coco needs to stick around to watch the semis and finals live. She should get a front row seat and try to absorb what these players are doing take the final steps towards a championship..I know it sounds hokey but there's some genius in this concept. Yeah I know she made it to the finals of RG last year but it was too soon for her..

Coco needs to have a sit-down with Vee or Serena.I think she is being too nice to these girls whilst the other girls are seeking to revenge all the beatings their cousins got from Serena.Kim was also too nice until she learned that time waits for no one.

First time I saw Coco's will was broken mid way in the 2nd set.

I think Coco needs not to think about herself as an extension of the William sisters because of her colour, and focus on what her opponents are doing to her, and what she can do to stop them. She’s a very admirable young woman, I think she’ll get there on her own merits, in her own way..

Really? I asked online when Shannon would be gone and they thought he would stay thru the NBA Playoffs next week! Bayless deserves being left in the lurch! He's such a frustrated and jealous a-#ole who has to take it too far disparaging an athlete he doesn't care for! He wonders why Charles Barkley wants to "kill him!" The older he gets, the crankier he's become! He has Brady and Jordan on a pedestal that can't be torn down and he went after Sharpe a few months ago that caused this rift that there was no coming back from! I'm surprised Shannon didn't jump over that desk and pummel that jerk even if he's old man! :astonished-face: :angry-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth::face-with-tears-of-joy:

I don't think that's @tossip tossip is alluding to. Tossip is saying Serena/Vee can mentor Coco about trying to help her release a killer mentality to be able to be more competitive vs Iga and Saba. Agreed she needs to be her own person which I feel she is strong enough to have her own identity on the court not the Williams sisters..IMO.

Skip Bayless doesn't respect Shannon because he doesn't come from a journalism background and skip is a pure POS

I think there’s a lot of people can help her with that, probably better suited than the WS. But actually I think she’s doing great as she is…

Just my perspective Kieran if you want to build the world's greatest most valuable retailer , are you going to reach out to Jeff Bezos or Mark Cuban and the other members of his Shark tank TV show . Feel me

Serena and Venus can identify with Coco needs better than another former champion or coach. My concern is players like Zverev,Tsitispas, Rublev are getting caught and past by Carlitos and Holger. The same happens with the WTA but their window is much shorter..e.g. Madison Keys career
