Coco! Coco! Coco!

Well, I have to remember, she is still a teenager and at time she still plays like one.
 
I wonder if Coco's parents think they are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Williams...... Many parents think they can do it. She needs HELP with her forehand, how to handle power players, how to hit the ball where the players are not standing and how to to flattened out the ball when its to her advantage.

I was thinking along the same line, but I have to remind myself, she is still a teenager and that she is no Venus/Serena. And you are right, many parents think they can be another Richard Williams, but, when she turns 21, Coco needs to get a coach that will "get in her head". I think her problem is mental.

Do you remember Donald Young? I think he stayed with his parents waaaaayyyyy too long.

But, anyway, just my opinion.

Eubanks ran out of gas, 4 weeks of tennis is tough on anyone.


A British inspiration?​

British sports fans enjoying the tennis produced by Chris Eubanks over the last 10 days will no doubt have noticed the similarity between the American’s name and that of a certain boxer in his heyday around 30 years ago.

Lose the final ’s’ and you have Chris Eubank, a British star who held world middleweight and super-middleweight titles in the early 90s. So does the 27-year-old from Atlanta know anything about his almost-namesake?
