Paul Annacone: Roger Federer is an Amazing Thinker

Here is a very quick quote from Paul Annacone on Roger Federer.

A lot of [top players] are creatures of habit. Roger isn’t so much. He knows what makes him successful, but he’s open to debate, to conversations about things that maybe he didn’t used to do. He’s very expansive in his thinking, so it won’t go undiscussed, for sure.

I am expecting Roger Federer to make it all the way to the French Open semifinals at the very least.

Paul Annacone Dropped From the LTA

We have been informed that Paul Annacone will be leaving The Lawn Tennis Association as head coach for men’s tennis.

Annacone was brought in to try to lift Britain’s tennis fortunes. While Andy Murray is currently ranked No. 4, there are no other British men in the top 100. Annacone was recently replaced as a British Davis Cup coach following the team’s loss to Lithuania and demotion to the next-to-last tier of the competition.

Annacone will work with Leon Smith, the newly appointed head of men’s tennis, until the end of his contract.
