When's this partnership take effect? haha... I could not have predicted this one... is Raonic grabbing the RG that JMac never could?

Ok Milos, we will start with some basic drills, work on your volleys, then wrap up with some player vs umpire roleplay...

It was pretty apparent at AO that Raonic was eager to improve his forecourt game. Still feels odd somehow - has McEnroe actually coached anyone before or is this a debut?

Wow, I hope this is true.

Raonic's measured calmness may finally help McEnroe with his ADD.

The day is just getting weirder the more it progresses. Even though I knew the wrist was an on/off issue since 2014, I was stunned to see Rafa withdraw after 2 very convincing victories. Now JMac is going to coach the most charismatic/electrifying player on the tour right now, Canada Zone aka Milos Raonic (insert sarcasm). What's going to happen tonight? Sampras & Agassi returning to the tour as a double team? LOL

'Helping' at Wimbledon. Weird to announce it now.

To those hoping JMac will improve Raonic's volleys in a few weeks, good luck with that. What he can do in a short period of time is teach him to pick the right time to attack and improve his approaches a little. If you hit a good enough approach shot you don't have to have JMac/Edberg volleying skills.

Does Mac know the court plays differently today? Milos not need better volleys. He needs a more reliable backhand and return. Two things Mac wasn't known for.

It has been reported that his main job will be to remind Milos that he loses the point if he touches the net before the ball bounces twice when he hits a shot.
