Overall, Jack Sock had a decent year. He didn't break through in GS this year but he improved here and there. Anyways, if he decided to hire a 'supercoach' who would be a better choice? I'll break down the two former players.
Jim Courier: Year end No.1, 4 GS(2 AO, 2 FO, but made three other finals 1 FO, 1 W, 1 US) Made 2 World tour finals. Won 5 Masters titles(IW, Miami, Rome, IW, Rome) and now a commentator & Davis Cup captain.
Andy Roddick: Year end No.1, 1 GS(1 US, but made 4 other GS finals. 3 Wimbledon and 1 more US) Made World tour SF 3 times. Won 5 Masters titles( Montreal, Cinci, Miami, Cinci, Miami) Now, he's a part time commentator.
Overall, I think Courier would be a better choice because he's been through it all. Seen it from a player's point, commentator's point, and captain's point. They both have a similar game style(aggressive baseliner), wicked spin on their forehand, lacky backhand, big serve. He's also good on clay and Jack Sock's best surface besides hard court is clay. Jim could take Jack up in the rankings. I know Roddick has about the same criteria but to me Courier has more insight of what the game is now. That's just my opinion. What's yours?
