Do you think he is a good coach or not?
He seems to have good results - but then again he hasn't taken anyone who wasnt going to be / aready is a good player to the top.
If he got Volandri or Henri-Mathieu to the top - THEN he'd the GOAT coach
he had one of the best mental games in the history of tennis. that's all he can coach. he had ugly strokes, so he can't help anyone he coaches with their stroke mechanics like other coaches. i think he's a great coach because of what he did with Murray. but murray has been breaking down as of late, so maybe he isn't as mentally tough as gilbert ought to be making him. that's probably murrays own fault, though.

Gilbert is very dangerous coach. He can finish the career of everybody as he did with Roddick. Roddick is nothing now in tennis. Soon Murrey will be nothing. Gilbert is from people around tennis but doing money inside tennis.
That last sentence is completely indiscernable. The rest is completely ridiculous. Roddick was on fire until he fired Gilbert. He slumped after that but to say that Roddick is "nothing" in tennis is like saying McDonald's is nothing in the fast food world.
The last sentence means that Gilbert as not so good former tennis player is trying make advertising and earn money from outside of tennis ( meant not playing himself).
What I told is very clear to experienced posters here because the subject was discussed here before.
Of course Roddick is among 10, he is not nothing. But when u analyze u will see lack of techniques everywhere except service. Not a good feeling of the ball, not a sense of the game, incorrect places in the court he chose, absolutely vanishing left strokes, many COINS. With one serve Ivanicevich also won Wimbledon but nobody never joins him to the list of talents.
Gilbert theory of mainly statistical approach to tennis is not correct. tennis is something intuitive and despite there are statistcis about yr opponents but here very many players win intuitively, by feeling of the game. Murrey is from category of "intelligent" players, what means of those who creates extraordinary game on the court, who thinks and win by game, not thanking his physical condition and pushing boxers' strokes.
In this meaning it is very fragile subject, and it is dangerous to give such a thinking player into the hands of statistical Monster. The last sentence means that Gilbert as not so good former tennis player is trying make advertising and earn money from outside of tennis ( meant not playing himself).

And while Gilbert is driven by money (as is made clear in his book)
