Caroline Wozniacki drops Ricardo Sanchez as Coach

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 States the Obvious! Caroline Wozniacki Wont Be the Number 1 Player in the World After Australian Open 2012

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 Storm into Australian Open 2012 Seminfinals

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.

Six Women Fight for Australian Open 2012 Title and World Number 1 Ranking

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.

Caroline Wozniacki Hires New Coach

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!

Caroline Wozniacki Finishes 2011 As World Number 1 Female Tennis Player

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.

Li Na Splits with Coach

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.
