Probably shouldn't have dumped Cahill. We'll see who she goes after next. Is Hogstedt or Torbin Beltz avail?

Well, it won't be either one of them and she can't get Cahill back, no? Is he w/ Amanda permanently?

I made a mistake Tobin Beltz is Emma Radananu new coach
Tomasz Wiktorowski is Swiatek coach
Madison Keys is coached by Hogstedt

I havent heard as yet if Cahill and Amanda are a permanent arrangement
I really think that Halep has moved on from Cahill....though I would like to know the real reason of their split,I thought she might have thoughts of retiring,cause 2021 she had a lot of injuries,then got recently married,though she still appears to be playing the full tour and wants to get back into the Top 10 as one of her goals this year.

Maybe she can get Emma's old coach. He did coach her to a maiden slam from the quali's.

I will be SO happy when the WTA restarts it's tour in St. Petersburg, Russia on Feb. 5. I have to say I am a bit disappointed that the WTA could not find one location to hold at least a 250 event. The ATP had three events this week, why can't the WTA find a place for players to earn some ranking points and prize money. I understand that it's a long flight back but for those who lost in the opening rounds I am sure they wouldn't mind competing. I know there are 60K ITF events being held but that doesn't really help players ranked 35-50 who would have enjoyed playing SOMEWHERE.......

I sometimes forget Petra's still playing! I wonder if she ever asked Martina Nav. to help her out? MN's tenure w/ Radwanska didn't go so well!
