:worship: Ana giving chance to young and motivated man to prove himself, and he seems to really care during Ana's matches, it's great to see him around. :)

Andrew Bettles, tennis player from Great Britain, was born in 1993. He is with Ana in Beijing, and was introduced as her coach. However, for now, he is only replacing Nigel Sears, when he has obligations with BT Sport.

Even though he *still* isn't full time coach, I was wondering if he may be the youngest one in WTA tour to have that job? :)

As little time they can spend together is better perhaps keep the rs open like friends with benefits until she ended her career. One guy said, Bastian will have amused with open british girls when she is away so mcuh so she can make the best of it. Modern times, modern solutions :devil:

This is one handsome coach. Bastian, you need to keep an eye on him :p




Well, maybe like he could be 25 years old but ''a lot older'' is a bit of exaggeration :shrug:

She beat Venus in straight sets under him... It happened before only at Australian Open 2008. :oh: Good start for Andrew!

Imagine what Ana could do without his body weight attached to her. :eek:

If i was a young and beautiful tennis player i would demand a hottie hitting partner too. Motivation would be so high that i would continue with the hitting even at home.

He is 900 ATP right now so I imagine he is doing this to get to work with a beauty like Ana, both on and off the court. So there is that, in addition, he probably makes WAYYYYYYYYYYYY more money coaching her than he would playing futures

So right now he is probably going to coach/sex her for like 6 months or whatever, however long it lasts, and then he will save his money and then once this is over, he will go try some future and challengers again

If he's a tennis player who is 22 why is he coaching Ana and not playing himself? :confused:
Because get honour to hit with Anci (and not good enough compete with men :p) :hi5:

A win win occasion



Give advice to desperate beauty get money for is better than work hard and get no money for. ;)

this guy is actually Ana's hitting partner, Nigel said so during her couching in the match with Garbine last week :shrug:

So, what does it say about men? :devil:

The tour as quite a few flop ATP types working as coaches. I get that they'd be hitting partners but full on coach seems a lot, so I'm assuming he's just a hitting partner. Also another thing that only the men can do it seems, nobody would have a 900+ WTA player hanging around their camp. :rolleyes:

He's cute though, like the usually are conveniently, same as the Fitzpatrick guy Sloane was with.

Anna's hitting partner Bogomolov Jr, even went on to the top 40, probably all Anna's influence in him :angel:

well, female tennis players themselves seem to think men are better suited to be coaches than women, judging by the coaching couch in WTA. So they are them the ones who think that it's a thing that only men can do.

That's why I can't take them seriously when they are so :yeah::yeah::yeah: about the likes of Mauresmo. It just reeks of PC stuff and nothing else
