Sania seeks Oz' Tony Roche stint

‘‘Talks are on with him but the details have not been finalised as yet’’, CGK Bhupathi of Globosport, Sania’s managers, told The Indian Express from Bangalore.

Roche, who’s been serving as a part-time coach to Roger Federer since the beginning of this year, hailed the Swiss as one of the all-time greats but identified a few areas where the world no 1 needed to work on his game. Federer, he said, needed to improve on his second serve and should serve and volley more.

And, the results are there for all to see. The Swiss won his third successive Wimbledon crown and a second straight US Open title this year.
