Do you think it's possible that Federer coaches Dimitrov when he retires?

[RF-18]

I mean why not. Federer certainly sees himself in dimitrov and wants to help the guy out. Is it possible?

 

[SpinToWin]

Don't see it happening to be honest... Fed will take a break from tennis first I believe.

 

[edmondsm]

The guy has four kids and enough money to last 20 lifetimes. The chances of him bouncing around the tour as a coach are slim to none imo.

 

[Lukhas]

I'd think he's rather see his kids grow up a bit.

 

[The Green Mile]

No, I don't think so. A well deserved break is in store, I think.

 

[ThomasGB]

I would hope so, but his kids are his main priority.

 

[Aretium]

Fed just coached Dimitrov for free. Badum tsss.

No is my short answer. Noooooooooooooooooo is my long answer.

 

[Tennis_Bum]

No, Shriekapova will coach Dimitrov.

 

[Chanwan]

No, I don't think so. A well deserved break is in store, I think.

this ........

 

[Dave1982]

It's an interesting prospect but in reality and like a few posters have mentioned, with 4 kids I think Fed will at the very least take a few years off completely once he retires.
There's no doubt Fed loves tennis & long term it's likely he'll be involved in some capacity & coaching is certainly an option for him.
As for whether he coaches Dimitrov though, I think Fed will still be enjoying family time when Dimitrov peaks so probably unlikely just from a timing perspective.

 

[coloskier]

Considering Fed hired Edberg, it would not surprise me to see him coaching after 5 years out of the competitive tennis scene.

 

[maruzo]

Yeah, I don't see Fed becoming a coach any time soon. He's already spent 15 years on tour. That's a grueling schedule for 15 years non stop.

Definitely a break from the sport after retirement.

 

[LazyNinja19]

Just because a player is great, doesn't mean he would be a good coach too. And vice versa.
Of course, Roger's limitless knowledge of the game could be beneficial to any pro.

I think that Roger could be an interesting commentator. I hope he considers it, only for the Slams though.

 

[Nadal>>>>>Federer]

Nah Fed will probably still keep in touch with tennis, maybe the director of Basel of Swiss DC team. Other than that he will spend a lot of time with his family and teach his kids how to play

 

[spirit95]

Why would he? What makes Dimitrov different to anyone else? Dimitrov's style becomes more like Murray's year-on-year.

Anyway, he's going to work for his new PR company Team8 after retirement;

Why would anyone with as much stature and money in the bank as Federer want to follow around a lesser-known player for crumbs off his table?

 

[90's Clay]

Who wants to spend retirement coaching an underachieving head case clown?

Pretty much this.
And if he is to be a coach to anyone somewhere in the future (I mean it took a guy like Lendl some time as well, and wowsee... he has four daughters ) I doubt it will be Dimitrov, who, if I may be so frank, doesn't seem to be heading anywhere near to fulfill his nick of being 'baby Fed' as of yet.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Dimitrov will never ever be close to Federer's standards.

Dimitrov is carving out a good career in which every year he progresses we'll see what happens.

ROFL.. :lol::lol:
