I think Almagro can be great coach in the future.

During a recent press conference in Paris, Danielle confirmed that starting a coaching partnership with Nicolas Almagro was just great. The Spaniard retired from tennis in April 2019 and apparently he was eager to get back to his beloved sport in a different role. Collins revealed that she was lucky that Serena Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou contacted Almagro when she expressed the desire to be in touch with a person who had experience playing at the very top. Nico retired with 13 titles and he also managed to break into the top10 back in 2011, and he was therefore a great candidate.

“We had reached out, my team had reached out to Patrick Mouratoglou, and he set us up with Nico .It’s been awesome. I think this might be the first time I have worked with a coach that has been a top-10 player. I think that’s a really important thing because he knows what it takes to be at that level.” said Collins.

I really liked him as a player. But I guess he might be also good coach.

Colllins is working with Almagro?

Ok that explains some things.

Good hire and pick by her!

Almagro without nerves would have won at least 1 RG (2010 comes to mind). His technique was good, so he could definitely become a good coach, but not for someone who needs to work on his nerves!

In 2010 he pushed Nadal to two tiebreaks, which is the best anyone did that year. With a functioning brain, Almagro would have had a chance to beat him. A meltdown-less Almagro is would have been pretty dangerous idea, but I guess one could say that about a lot of players.
