I think so. These Russian girls are clueless on the tennis courts. They are unforced error machines! And they all need to get the best coaching possible. But it isn't happeneing for most of the Russina's.
According to one of Russian boards, Joe was seen in Minsk talking to Marat Safin during the Belarus-Russia Fed Cup match. I can't come up with any explanations whatsoever what could he be doing there..
I think she has a new FEMALE coach, she was with some female in Sydney and Melbourne. After all the matches Lena played, the lady would walk with her privately and talk to her about her matches.
Also she thanked her mother and im sure her new femae coach after her Mixed Aus Open win.
During the French Open, Mary Joe Fernandez said that Lena had dismissed her old coach, Larissa Neiland, a few weeks earlier. Now she trains in Barcelona at the same tennis academy Sveta trains at.
Lena's new coach is Pep Plasin. Lena's mom, Margarita, travels with Lena.
