Current ATP Players as Coaches

Hello there,
What active player(s) in the top 10 do you think is/are most likely to coach in the future? Or if you want to broaden this question, then what player(s) in the top 100 do you think would coach somebody in the future? I am not too sure myself, although I think I am just going to say Berdych.

I could see someone like Lleyton Hewitt coaching, or even further down the road the recently retired Andy Roddick could be a coach too.

I don't see Federer or Nadal ever coaching. Djokovic and Murray? Potentially.

I'd bet a lot on Hewitt coaching someone in the future.

Lol, I feel like Federer would just be like, "Okay, now hit this shot. No...hit it. Just like, hit the shot. How hard is that? Why are you not understanding what I am saying?"

A Hewitt or a Murray would work better as a coach IMO

Reminds me of my PE teacher yelling every time he drop-shotted me in badminton. It could have untold consequences though. At 15 I was already too good for him or virtually anyone else in the school.

I would prefer Hewitt to coach Thompson/Kokkinakis

Thompsons a lot like Hewitt, Solid Backhand, great movement.

Kokkinakis to learn a lot like shot.selection and tactics.

The only thing I could see Nick learning would be tactical play, but I don't think they'd gel that well.

Then again Lendl and Murray worked so...

I would love to see Hewitt-Kyrgios as a future coach-player team!
I don't know how well they pair up; Kyrgios doesn't really play Hewitt's game and he already has his mental toughness. Perhaps he could work on his volleys and return of serve?

Hewitt could be a good consultant to him. He could teach him about everything he needs to know about managing his potential. I agree about the differences in the game. He'd need a different coach for that.
