After only two months working for Caroline Wozniacki, coach Ricardo Sanchez has been dropped from her team. It appears as though the split was caused after Caroline’s father Piotr, still looked like he was the sole lead in coaching his daughter.
After losing at the Australian Open, Wozniacki has gone down in the rankings to No. 4 in the world. It is unknown who she will hire as a new coach or if she will hire another coach at all, but she hasn’t been confident on the road to a Slam win ever since claiming that number one spot. Her father Piotr is quoted saying that his daughter just didn’t get a lot of inspiration from Sanchez and he couldn’t handle being the one in the middle of the father-daughter coaching relationship.
Hopefully because of her drop, Caroline will find a new hunger to pursue her goal of becoming a Grand Slam champion. She actually has a good chance at the upcoming Roland Garros in May. Well known for her ability to play defense, on a surface like clay it’s really important to use the maximum amount of your agility to get to every ball, so hopefully she will have a breakthrough there and a strong record coming into Paris.
Martina Navratilova is really good at stating the obvious. She stated that Caroline Wozniacki might lose the number 1 world ranking.. well of course she is going to! It will be interesting to see who is the number 1 female player in the world after the Australian Open 2012.
p.s. Wozniacki really needed to get close to winning a Grand Slam to deserve the number 1 spot, but it never happened for her!
Kim Clijsters and Victoria Azarenka have made their way into the Australian Open 2012 semifinals. Azarenka has a close first set, but then turned up the head to win in three sets, 6-7, 6-0, 6-2 against Agnieszka Radwanska. While Kim Clijsters pushed past Caroline Wozniacki 6-2 7-6.
This now means we will have a new number 1 female player in the world after the Australian Open.
The Australian Open 2012 is the first Grand Slam of the year and it is going to be amazingly exciting. Six players on the womens side have the ability to finish the tournament with the World Number 1 ranking.
Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, Sam Stosur and Agnieszka Radwanska could also take the top ranking, but the No. 2-ranked Kvitova is the favorite.
Caroline Wozniacki currently holds the top spot, but with her poor run in Grand Slams I doubt highly that she will be number 1 when the tournament ends.
The USA Today has Caroline Wozniacki blogging directly from the Australian Open 2012. Caroline is the top seed for the Australian Open 2012, but she is by far not the favourite to win the title. It will be interesting to see if she can find some form and overcome her Grand Slam curse.
Caroline Wozniacki will be looking stunning at the Australian Open 2012 in a Tomato Red Stella McCartney dress. I love this promotional photo because it makes her look like a million dollars.
Remember the days when Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport were slamless? Well Im sure they never got as much shit as Jelena Jankovic and Caroline Wozniacki currently get.
World number one Caroline Wozniacki has finally hired a new coach to replace her father, Piotr. The Dane announced a couple of months ago that she and her father have decided no to work together on a coaching basis, but didn’t announce the name of her new coach since the announcement.
Her father Piotr accompanied his daughter to tournaments even after they agreed to split, but a Danish newspaper recently announced that her new coach will be Spain’s Ricardo Sanchez.
Wozniacki hasn’t had any luck at the Grand Slam events, and didn’t even reach the semis at the year-ending championships this year. The Spanish coach has stated that his goal will be to get the number one player up to her potential and win the Australian Open next month.
Hopefully Sanchez will be a good coaching match for her and will help her win at least one Slam to consolidate her top ranking in the women’s game. If she is to win a Grand Slam she shouldn’t play so many tournaments throughout the year and make wise choices as to where to play in order to get ready for a Grand Slam. I think Ricardo will help her realize her objectives as a player and maybe we will see an improvement in her game next year!
Here is a picture of what might be Caroline Wozniacki’s dress for the 2012 Australian Open! Plus, there are some more pieces from her collection! Enjoy!
Since Maria Sharapova decided to withdraw from the WTA Tour Championships, this means that Caroline Wozniacki will finish the year as the worlds number 1 female tennis player. Wozniacki had a strong year, but yet again no Grand Slam title to her name! It seems like Wozniacki is very consistent, but lacks the killer instinct in the big matches.
Wozniacki becomes only the 8th women in history to get the number 1 spot in back to back years.
It seems like Caroline Wozniacki has been putting her nose in other people’s business again! Rory McIlroy announced on Friday his split with long time manager Chubby Chandler.
Chandler thinks that McIlroy’s girlfriend could have influenced the shock decision:
I don’t know whether it was his girlfriend (world No. 1 tennis player Caroline Wozniacki) getting in his ear or someone else but I thought we were doing a pretty good job, to be honest, and I think that’s how the outside world saw it.
Sad news of the day! Rory McIlroy has sent a gift to Caroline Wozniacki.
Rory.. Cheesey isnt the right word. I thought you have only been dating the girl a few months and already your giving her gifts with combined names on them. Bad idea!!
Current French Open champion, Li Na has reportedly split with Danish coach Michael Mortensen. The main reason of the split according to the 29 year-old is because she didn’t like his sort of passive, mild and gentle way of coaching.
Mortensen did coach Li Na to her first Slam win in Roland Garros, but the top player of China has experienced a slump during the summer, losing in the second round of Wimbledon and the first round of the US Open. With that being said, Mortensen was also the technical coach of number one ranked Caroline Wozniacki.
It seems like Caroline Wozniacki was in such a happy mood after her win over Svetlana Kuznetsova the other day. So happy that she even joked and imitated Rafael Nadal cramping situation in the Press conference.
Caroline Wozniacki has made it in to the last 64 of the US Open with a win in her first round. She still doesnt seem to be as confident as she should. Anyways, here is her comments after her first round match and what she needs to do if she plans on competing with Serena Williams and other big hitters.
Caroline Wozniacki is finally finding some form in the lead up to the US Open 2011. Caroline has made it into the semifinals of the New Haven Open with a win over Christina McHale 7-5 6-3. Caroline has finally got a few consecutive wins under her belt, but they still aren’t over other top players.
How do you think Caroline will do at the US Open 2011?
