I have to say, Naomi even looks fitter. She must have been working even harder after the US Open. Good on her. Looking forward to seeing what she does in the last months of the year
I feel coaches are like any other relationship or job. I think Patrick is perfect for her and he will get more slams for her and him. It is unfortunate what happened with Halep. It was not Patrick’s fault how she was strung along by the powers that be. I think it is hard for Rune to get along with anyone. It will be interesting to see who he ends up with. I think Osaka and Patrick are a good team. Osaka is humble and hungry to win just like Serena. I am so excited for her! Just like Serena needed more than her 1st coach her Dad, it was time for Naomi to move on. Like she said, nothing personal. IMO, Ben Shelton needs to do the same thing. I am just not a big fan of parent coaches from the time I have been watching tennis. (With the exception of King Richard) I think Ben would do better with another coach. It was interesting during the laver cup how he bonded and looked up to John McEnroe. He needs to settle down. I hope he took John’s words to heart. It was good advice. Very good advice!!
Glad you mentioned Jerry Shang! He's one of my favorite players and I was fortunate to see him play this summer. He was great with the fans! His game is so smooth and powerful with great depth on the groundies. Great to hear he's been on your radar!
Alicia Parks should be the person working with Patrick. Power aline is not enough. I believe Naomi is gonna do very well. We still don't know who Coco's coach is. She should have hired Patrick earlier.
I still wanna believe Iga will continue to dominate the #1 spot as she has the best all around game.
Naomi’s falling in love w him just like Serena did
Noami is nuts …there isn't anyone she doesn't fear …for the 1st time ever i m siding with that psycho Patrick
Love your channel, keep up the good commentary!
Naomi should forget tennis and do onkyfsns
Great tennis Osaka 🥰🥰🎾🎾
Wim is a great coach, but his teaching style as ran its course with Naomi, and she's trying to take her game to a different level, and this requires a new coach. Serena done the same thing when she hired Patrick, and her father Richard wasn't mad with her choice. .
Perhaps Iga's decision to forgo the tournament was/is political.🤔
Thank you for your content! Keep up the good work!!😊
I don't doubt that Naomi will benefit from having Patrick as a coach and I ❤ Naomi. I wish her well, but the 'Serena for life' side of me feels some type of way about the irony of it all! 😂
I think Patrick will be good for Naomi. He will help her add a bit more topspin on her shots and help her variety at net. I wish her the best, truly, cause I believe she can get back to the top 10 and win more majors if she continues to improve.
Speaking of coaches, I feel like Alycia Parks needs to find a good coach because I see a lot of potential in her game. She has such easy power with a huge serve and forehand. I feel like she can really be a top player if she can find a coach who can develop some consistency, and focus her game and mindset.
Dear Naomi, Just get fit, stay fit, and HIT THAT DAMN BALL!!! 🙂
