That Sumyk from his work with Zvonareva and Azarenka clearly has a great reputation now of the great work he's done with players.
But with Bouchard you have someone who has hugely lofty goals, and at least from what she says wants success pretty much now. This isn't necessarily the easiest position, because I assume most people would agree right now she's pretty outclassed at the very top of the game. She just parted with a coach that got her to the YEC within 2 years on the main tour (even though I know I heavily questioned him re: Wimbledon F last year), doesn't suggest she will the most patient if she doesn't see instant progess, and she's surrounded by a team that will have lofty expectations and marketing goals for her. I remember early 2011 people were actually calling for Sumyk's head on Vikaland (around Middle Eastern swing 2011). She was playing awfully, and just didn't seem to be enjoying it out there. Of course is very hard for someone with a Vika avatar to post that on TF without it just causing more hassle than it's worth, so I didn't bother. |

It's from that point btw that I'm most surprised Sumyk would leave Vika for Bouchard (though I guess if you believe the official story this isn't exactly how it went down). Nothing really to do with the players. But from a job security point of view, you're going from somewhere you're viewed as family to a camp where you will be viewed as the odd man out if things start going wrongly and could easily be out of a job by this time next year (not that he'd probably have any trouble getting back in, but that's beside the point).

Carlos Rodriguez Wisewords. He's a top coach imo. Apparently both Azarenka and Bouchard wanted him, but he's tied up with the Chinese tennis federation which basically means he can't travel from China.

Vaidisova looks a decent price to win vs someone who came in on very short notice playing her 2nd match of the day.

Missing to serve it out, then getting crushed in the tie will probably not helped andrea. Think its rather a tactical MTO to break momentum.
