Thank you so much @darren_cahill for all your hard work and incredible support over the past four years.

I was lucky to have you and what a journey we had. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best and I'm sure I'll see you soon! 🙏

I would like to announce that Simona and I will not be continuing our partnership in 2019 purely for family reasons on my part.

Halep lived up to expectations; but I fear that her body won't hold up for a long career. It is physically too demanding for her, and players like her either give it all, peak for a few years and then retire early (Henin comes to mind), or they treat their body more gently and play longer without the peak moments (Radwanska comes to mind).

I love players like Bencic and Kasatkina, but am aware that they will face the same dilemma: push their body for 3-4 peak years with some wins in a major, or be an eternal bridesmaid in the Slams.
Not expecting them to be around at age 30.
