2 weeks ago the talent of Bulgaria tennis - Grigor Dimitrov split with his coach Roger Rasheed and all expect to know the name of the specialist who will try to return to the Top 10 one of the biggest talents in the sport gentleman. The topic was frozen for a few days during the Cup "Davis," but after the defeat over Luxembourg was reopened. And then came a photo of Dimitrov Tennis Academy in Florida, and the text is clear that training is involved and Ivan Lendl ...
Pure facts remind us that the houses of the Ivan Lendl and Maria Sharapova are in Florida, but that Grigor for a coach and eight times Grand Slam champion is free now. What else do we know, or at least we can assume about the chances for future partnership between the two?
Grigor does not have unlimited resources of time and probably soon will announce the name of his new mentor. Lendl did become Andy Murray of eternal №4 in the world double Grand Slam champion and national hero in the eyes of British fans after the trophy at Wimbledon in 2013. The Scot was the last player who managed to beat Novak Djokovic of "sacred grass".
Lendl, however, is known for their proverbial intolerance constant travel and because of this alone chose to terminate its relationship with Murray. "I just could not give him the time of what he needed," he admitted then Iron John. In October 2014 Lendl refused even his compatriot Tomas Berdych with exactly the same argument. It is clear - the legend is not looking for work at any cost and will have to be really impressed by the prospects for new commitment.
Meanwhile, the Czech gave no indication that he has given up all of the coaching profession and Grigor definitely has the qualities that draw his attention to a new challenge. Lendl it can help him in critical game of tennis Dimitrov aspects visibly improved Murray - serve, controlled aggression and even greater stability at playing.
The partnership seems like a winning solution for Grigor and Lendl, but whether they will prove it in practice? So far we have only pictures ...
