Correct me if I am wrong but you have always specialized in junior players… Who are your tips to replace the top 3 in the world – Novak, Roger and Rafa when they retire?
Actually, I am specialized in assisting players in the ‘ transition phase’ from junior/starting pro, to pro level. To build a pro player besides of talent and luck, takes many years of systematic coaching… So start early!
Next big star?
I feel the field is wide open; finally the next gen players are maturing. In a couple of years a few new will emerge and stabilize their position and the game is on.
And finally the US Open is just around the corner… Who are your tips to win the Men’s and Women’s Championships?
