Any tennis coaches out there looking for a new gig?
While the tennis world might think that Roger Federer is panicking in firing his coach Tony Roche, I think it's creates the greatest opportunity of his career.
Rog hired Roche as his tennis coach because he wanted to improve his attack game and his volleys. And Roche came through big-time. Rog has dominated on hard courts and grass in the last three years.
But Federer is now struggling on clay. And, like many greats in the past like Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, and Boris Becker, Federer is now realizing that clay is a different animal.
My belief is that Federer may have the talent to win on clay but he doesn't have the tactics to compete against great dirtballers like Rafael Nadal.
You can read some of my previous posts about what strategy I would advise Rog to follow if I were his tennis coach.
If Fed is really smart he'll hire a world class clay court tennis coach. And I emphasize clay court tennis coach. maybe someone like Jose Higuera who coached Jim Courier to 2 French Open titles.
Let's go Rog -- If Tiger Woods can switch coaches and revamp his game in mid-career so can you. Get that clay court tennis coach.
