Should Pete be an advisor for Grigor? Just like to help him out mentally, and other things. Pete did mention he would like to work with Grigor and he wouldn't mind helping out not "coaching" if he's near L.A. It's clearly that Grigor has a house in L.A. What do you guys think?

Sampras taking a page from Safin’s coaching book. Donskoy has a house in Moscow but coach says “I am not traveling with you; phone me if you have a question”.

I didn't know that happened. Did it worked out? Probably not huh? Haha Also, Pete just said he wouldn't mind helping out but he has to be near his house in L.A. I think it would be a great opportunity for Grigor to get some advice from Pete. His next tourney won't be till like October so he has some time to work things out with Pete.

What words is Pete going to offer to that bird brain? "Hey Dimi, don't choke so hard every single time you have a chance for a decent win, ok?"

I have no idea what happened. The Safin family have always taken care of the kids coming up through the Spartak club.

But now Safin is a big-shot politician. He bought a penthouse in the center of Moscow and only invites Donskoy for occasional rooftop barbecue parties and steam bath outings.

Interesting. Who is this Donskoy? Family member? Close family friend?

Oh got ya. I read it the post about Safin wrong then. I thought Donskoy was Safin's coach. Haha My bad

Nah, Safin was coached by his mom. The senile fool Nick Bollitieri didn’t think Safin was promising enough for a scholarship.

Haha what does Nick think about Kyrgios? JS Also by his mom? That's impressive I might say.
