You have hit the nail on the head - I think you have to do a lot of passive-aggressive coaching with some partners. You need to tell them what to do but you can't tell them in a bossy "I know how you're screwing this up" way.

because marriage to this woman is part of the larger agreement that involves a public image that people will buy. he may feel like he has no choice.

i agree with you by the way. as an extension of your point, i think that the wife knew the score when she married him. but of course everyone has to pretend that this is not just about money.

2010-03-04T15:02:28.160-08:00

you're right. the brother is also at Saddlebrook but is pursuing golf. thanks for catching that. i read Saddlebrook and automatically assumed tennis. i'll make the change.

I think the other piece about Tiger that is being ignored is that we are not seeing that all those women are what is true for/about him. The marriage is the lie. His personality as you suggest has been formed by compliance and this slew of women is the Agassi-esque rebellion. Incendiary as this may seem, it would be a mistake for all parties for a return to his wife - as this marriage was as much a machination. Why imprison himself further?

Interesting.. I've watched a lot of doubles matches at the Malaysian Open for the past week and had been asking myself about the importance of those touches. You've got the answer!

Interesting article. And it sounds like your doubles partner was overdue for some education on what being a real team player means, no matter what the sport.

I came across your post when I was looking at Tennisopolis and rushed to get to your blog. Lord have mercy is right. I'm not sure what my favorite part of her quote is "this is a no brainer" or "I went to the hello kitty store. . . " If there is such a thing as a "brainer" vs. a "no brainer" Serena, this is a brainer! Having said all of that, you have to love her - she does what she wants and doesn't care what anyone thinks. And this future career plan proves that. Thank you thank you for the funniest tennis post I've read in a long time!

A very apt choice of picture chosen (intentionally, I'm certain) for the article.

Hey there. One of the reasons why she has been such a successful businesswoman it has been her dedication to learn all aspects of whatever it is that she is selling. Unlike someone else who will not be named, she does not have to read from a cue card to speak about her products. Just for clarification I believe that she is coming out with a hands and feet range of cosmetics hence her trying to learn how said products work. Good on her.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

belated thanks for your comments. lol @ evgapo. eeeeeeh and aaaaah. lol.

agree on the notion of plans and back-up plans. it's always amazing to me how many players seem to go out there with no plan whatsoever.

thank you all for your comments. yes El Gordo lost some weight using one of those products but seems as fat as ever to me. he is also a professional eater. i still can't get the hang of eating as a sport. lol.

2010-02-04T07:58:05.614-08:00

Your points are well-taken not just in the pro game but for all tennis players. I think Martina Navratilova once said (commenting on some match) you have to have a Plan B, C, D and E. I think about that all of the time when I'm playing or getting ready to play.

2010-02-04T07:52:34.357-08:00

You nailed it - they don't know tennis and the only reason I'm even aware of them is because they come on right after ESPN's coverage of the Australian Open. El Gordo was a great pitchman for Jenny Craig or Nutrisystems or whatever - tennis commentator? Not so great.

Love it! One of the best ever! The mainstream media needs to focus a bit more attention on tennis and a bit less on off-season BB/FB BS.
