Emma is all over the place at the moment. She could seriously go through a few coaching changes between the time span it takes Nadal to serve.

It doesn't look like Coco is playing Mixed, but Jess Pegula is playing mixed doubles with Austin Krajicek.

Yep she does and she could go deep in both.
There lies a problem, I know doubles help your singles, though in GS I feel singles at this stage is more important than winning doubles, just my opinion

It is more important unless the player is a doubles specialist. I have seen several players who have gone really far in tournaments in both doubles and singles and the person advancing in singles withdrew from the doubles.

I would say at this point in time Coco is more a singles player, than a doubles specialist, I know she loves playing doubles, though there may come a time when she will have to decide at a tournament if she goes deep, especially a GS, which is more important

Oh she is way more of a Singles player even though she is the #1 doubles player. That is pretty crazy to say. She needs to focus on her singles and I think she does that. The same would be for Jess Pegula. Her focus has to be on her singles. When Coco was playing with Caty McNally, Caty wasn't as much of a single player. Caty is now trying to focus more on her singles and I hope she can do better with that.

Actually this is good advice from a tennis coach on Emma's game at present, Emma's ranking now of 79# is her real ranking considering the matches she has played since winning the USO last year, he also thinks if she now goes and plays smaller tournaments start winning consecutive matches and gain more confidence

I think this is really smart and she can slowly climb her way back. She has tons of time. Some people say she is gonna disappear and I don't think that is going to happen at all. I think now is the perfect time to start really working on her game and playing those tournaments like you have mentioned and getting some wins under her belt and her confidence back. She will be back and she will be older when she gets back and it will be better for her.

Hopefully, though she needs to stay with the one coach as well.

She does need to do just that. Give one some time to work with her. I have had only 2 coaches in my entire life. The first one was when I was really little when I started at the age of 5. Then once I got the fundamentals of the game down I switched to a more appropriate coach at the age of 8 and I have had that same coach ever since.
