Who have been the best coaches for the Big 3? Vote in the poll.

Lot of buzz around this. Apparently Apostolos is not traveling with Stef to Rotterdam and Thomas Enqvist has been spotted coaching Stefanos over the weekend. Definitely an interesting development. Is daddy out for real? And how do think this will add to Tsitsipas’ evolution? Will he finally...

Hey everyone! I'm a tennis geek from the US and I'm applying for a grant to travel to Argentina to study the interaction between the local tennis ecosystem and the culture from the perspective of an American tennis player, coach, and fan. I plan to do this by playing, coaching, and observing...

I don't want to jinx things, BUT, Marty Laurendeau has been off for 4 months now with a back injury and 19 year old Denis is trying to find his way. His mother has been a wonderful coach, but he needs someone at this critical juncture to step in and help him deal with some of his "problems"...

Hi, I’m a big Stosur fan. But this year has been very frustrating to watch. Not because she is not winning much anymore. I don’t care if she wins titles or not. But it is bad to see her playing with so little confidence, because she is actually a nice player with good sportsmanship. I would like...

Is anyone here an LTA British coach? Had some questions regarding the qualifications pathway as an American coach and couldn't find what I was looking for on their site. Was hoping someone here has experience with it and what they had to do to become accredited/qualified. Thanks

Question for any coaches on here/ players that have been part of group lessons. I have only taken lessons in France and the mindset of my instructor would be to teach one or two technical apsects, run us through them with drills, etc. And then give us immediate feedback while going through the...

How did the coaches/instructors of players like Federer, Nadal, Wawrinka develop such excellent technique compared to other instructors? Did they have more in-depth knowledge of biomechanics? Were the players just that naturally talented at technique? Did they read books? What sources...

Time has come to honor one of the most influential people in Roger Federer's career. This slam (AO 2017) belongs to the absentee master of building robust long-term physical condition. Pierre Paganini is a humble guy, always shy to speak to the media, rarely present in the box and never one to...

Of the four semifinalists, who's got the best coach? Do you think anyone's got something up his sleeve to foil the opposition's game plan? I'd like to think that Ljubicic and Luthi have been doing some mad scientist stuff on the off chance that a deep run at a major materialized. That...
