The first week should be fun. Now, didn't Sasha go to team Sloane at one point?

he found lots of success with both Azarenka and Wozniacki.
Woz drove him crazy in the beginning. Sasha was used to leave tournaments the last days. With Woz, the tournaments were over every Tuesday... lol lol. That was quite a change for him.
But he did transform her game to have her last longer. She made bunch of finals under his guidance. He added power to her pushing game. etc, etc.
He improved Azarenka's serve.

The dude is good. I think we'll start seeing his impact on Osaka around May-June. But I would love to see Osaka vs Wozz at the Aussie Open... hmmmm... delightful. !!!!

I hope so, he is definitely better than her dad as a coach.

It's not even May-June yet, and we are already seeing the difference.
Sasha Bajin is "a nice dude", said Osaka. He graduated from the Richard Williams Tennis Academy.
