I'm guessing he's not coaching Kim C.:

“It’s hard to say what I expect from Kim as I don’t know how she is physically. Tennis really got way more physical the last few years on the WTA Tour,” Sascha Bajin, who guided Osaka to two Grand Slam titles and was named 2018 WTA coach of the year, told the WTA website.

“For sure, she can still turn matches with her championship mindset and playing the right ball in big moments, but I really don’t know if that’s going to be enough to compete in this modern age.”

Clijsters, who first retired in 2007 to start a family, had planned to resume her career in January but then delayed her comeback after suffering a knee injury.

Bajin believes Clijsters has the advantage of experience if she decides to chase a fifth singles Grand Slam title.

“I can’t wait to actually see it... it’s easier for someone to climb back to the top once you’ve been there. You know what you have to do. The biggest challenge is going to be competing again on a daily basis... bringing it every day,” he added.

“I think I want to say yes she can win another slam but at the same time I’m not sure... it’s not going be easy but if she’s coming back she can have great success.”

He'll coach Yastremska for '20. All right for him, I guess. She's a 19 year old up-and-comer that competes well. Currently ranked at #22. We'll see...

Off-topic: wasn't this the reason why Naomi dismissed him as her coach, when she learned they were an item?

Well.....

This will be a big challenge for Sasha. If Yamstreka's ranking starts going down, Sasha will hear from her fans. And it won't be pretty.
