Roddick Talks Rybakina's New Coach & Coco Gauff's Serve

[@Satelight-g7m]

Coco improves every year. Great win Coco!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@wahn10]

I love how you note Goran’s levity which is much needed on Elena’s team. Her 2025 season is looking much better now 💪

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

The grip adjustment on Coco's serve produced three benefits: 1) Naturally more spin. 2) Activates more long-axis rotation / pronation (vs. attempting to snap the wrist) 3) Naturally places the racquet into the ideal angle at contact. This, combined with improved posture into and through contact has improved her consistency.

or perhaps 1 benefit, 2 causes of it

Why couldn't BG have recognized this & did something about it? Was getting so tired of hearing about that winning ugly philosophy. That ran its course rather quickly.

@@ThatGirl551 as he correctly slips in, criticism of "celebrity" coaches. They're so often one trick ponies, living off early success with one pony's tricks; ignoring subsequent failures.

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

@@ThatGirl551 BG is a tactician, not a technician. Coco needed technical coaching to solve her issues and re-establish her confidence. BG was out of his lane. It's that simple. Best, John

[@ThatGirl551]

@@PerformancePlusTennis And BG couldn't recognize that or he did & refused to give up?

Goren was the first person I thought of to coach Rybakina . I really hope it’s a great combination-she’s so talented and seems so nice.

[@leslieadkins6276]

I love Rybakina 's game. I expect more wins from her.

[@Transport001-k6i]

Elena Eybakina,s game will proceed to the next level ,with Goran as her coach ... he brings top level experience, and gravity ...

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Good choice for Elena. 👍

FYI Čilić is pronounced "Chill-ich" not "Sill-ich" :)

[@ikeaub]

Thanks

[@idcharles3739]

Chilich. Please. You're a journalist. Look it up.

[@adoseofdeb1242]

Do coaches get paid the same rate for a female player. Or standard of a percent of whatever she wins plus flat salary? So curious 🤔 👍

[@jimmie1142]

The season is wayyy too long, they have less than two months off to get ready for AO, it’s crazy lol idk how they do it

[@markctaylormade]

You couldn't pay me to go watch a tennis match live in Saudi Arabia. I don't want to end up getting incarcerated then public lashes because I got caught with a beer, sorry.

[@tylerbetthauser7647]

All you have to do is respect another people's culture. I thought the West was all about being inclusive.

[@markctaylormade]

@@tylerbetthauser7647 I am [respecting their culture]. That's why I'm not going: because I like having a beer while enjoying any sport... especially live. That's the whole point of me not going: out of respect for their culture.

[@tylerbetthauser7647]

​@@markctaylormadeno, you're making veiled insults behind your moralization.

[@markctaylormade]

@@tylerbetthauser7647 what insults?

[@markctaylormade]

@@tylerbetthauser7647 I have friends who live and work in Riyadh on a compound for foreign Western workers. If you get caught with alcohol it's jail time and public lashings, FACT. How can something factual be an insult ?

[@bamagirl5454]

Hello Andy🥰 I think Brad tried to make Coco serve like a female Roddick. It didn’t work 🤷‍♀️NO ONE can serve like Andy Roddick to this day🫶💫🙌🥎🥎🥎🥎

[@donyutejamaica631]

Pointless!
