That's great news if you are a fan of Raducanu. Delgado is a highly respected and accomplished coach, that's a great acquisition for Emma's team. Let's hope it pays off....

I need her to get with a coach and stay put. All this moving around and different voices cannot be good for her psyche and her results continue to show it.

From what I read I think Emma's father has too much 'input' regarding her coaches.Agree with your thoughts she needs to stick to one coach,it is very rare that you are going to get 'instant results' it does take some time to get use to your coach and vice versa.In saying that I also feel Emma has been under soo much pressure from the media since she won the USO last year and her results have been woeful ever since, she has not won 3 consecutive matches since she won the USO.Emma has had sponsorships galore, she is a very attractive young woman, she also seems to get injured easily, I also feel she needs to look at her training,strength training in the gym.
Seeing Delgado is only for the up coming grass season, maybe Emma and Jamie could become a permanent partnership.I hope so, she is talented young woman, though at present her talent is being wasted.

MM. I'm really not happy with the AELTC right now. Wimby can take all this fluff and shove it where the sun don't shine. I don't give 2 farts about this stuff when their tournament (by their own doing) is being reduced to a well-organized and well paid political exho.

To me Wimbledon should not have banned Russian or Belarusian players, they should not have entered the political arena in the first place.

Simona Halep announcing she has split from her long time friend and manager, the legendary Virginia Ruzici.
Simona will be working with Nina Wernorstrom and the Wesportagency team.

Just looking at the entry lists for Wimbledon, neither Serena or Venus are not on the list.Though both can get a WC seeing that they are both former champions
Also sad for Fernandez who injured her foot in her q/final match, has a 3 stress fractures at the top of her foot and has withdrawn

I hope Lil Bit can play NA HC.

Colleagues asking Patrick Mouratoglou about former charge Serena Williams future plans ( ie. playing Wimbledon)
He said he had no information
Also they told him she was in Paris
"Thats news to me" he said.

 

[kskate2]

Hey MM, Did you say Serena was in Paris? Could it be to watch Nads?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kskate Yes and Patrick M did not know she was in Paris at all

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena has been pretty quiet in general where Patrick is concerned. I think it might be for the better given how ridiculously mouthy Patrick has been of late. Serena has enough concerns without adding to it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sunday I think that partnership has ended

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Oh most definitely.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looking like no Williams sisters at Wimbledon as of right now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well they both can take a WC, not on the entry list at present

 

[kskate2]

I don't think they're going to play there. I would look for them both at the USO and who knows, could be the swan song for both

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ksakte I think you may be right
