In an interview with the media outlet Bolshe, Kim Clijsters was asked about a potential future as a coach.

Although interested in this project, the Belgian indicated that it is not planned for the moment: "I've thought about it several times, and there have been interesting offers from players, but the travel... It's too much for me.

Moreover, I think that to be a good coach, you need to spend at least 15 to 20 weeks per year with a player. I don't want to be a coach who just spends time on the phone.

I believe that personal contact, communication, and understanding the player are essential.

Of course, technology has simplified this process, but I remain convinced that a coach must be present and observe a player's life, not only on the court but also off it.

Of course, the idea of coaching is very tempting, especially if working with a player with whom I have connections. But my youngest isn't even nine years old, so for now, I prefer to stay at home.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
