The Coach Effect

[Kieran]

It was a paperback in town, but it definitely looks like an interesting book. A lot of fear on the pages I read...

I'd like to mention Michael Chang here, with Nishikori having such clearly improved results since they paired up.

I would like to unmention Fabrice Santoro here who was fired by Dog after a trial period
at the beginning of this year. Dog is having a good year. He claims, perhaps rightly,
that as his game is unorthodox it is difficult for him to find a coach. He says every coach
that he tries wants him to change the game. He wants somebody who can help him
without forcing him to change his basic style. Any takers?

I thought that would be a good fit, for unconventional. Dogopolov is back with his dad, I think, which he says he's happy with.

I'd like to bring back up Ivanisevic as a good coach for Cilic. Does anyone else think they look like they could be brothers? Anyway, seems to be a productive fit for Marin.
