I am amazed at all this talk about who should coach Rafa.
Nobody can coach Rafa. He does not care to work anymore.
End of story.
He rather have what little is left of his tennis career go down the drain so he can exit the tour.
The man does not want to compete, battle, and win.
He has had staggering amount of time off away from the sport in the last 2.5 years right in his prime. The very last thing he needs is more vacations and more time off. Inactivity and inattention is the reason he will soon be playing barely challenger level tennis.
Way too much time off away from the sport. Lack of focus and real drive and hunger is soon going to force him out of the sport.
And even more if you take all the various injuries over the course of last 6 years.
He just does not care.
And until he gets out in the practice courts 7-8 hours a day nothing is going to happen. He will just keep falling apart and keep getting worse.
That is is reality on the ground.
