Dump your Dad and get a REAL coach!!

well its clear maria sharapova needs some more help... her results this year has been declining dramatically and her game hasnt improved or moved on for a couple of years now, so i suggest getting a new coach..

i would fire yuri's shameful ass for leaving before the end of the match straight away! i thought that was worse than maria's unforced errors count! lol!! but seriously, i think she should cut him out of the picture, stop travelling with him and just leave him at home.

i would go as far as even getting rid of joyce, or maybe putting him back in the hitting partner slot..

i just really think maria needs to become her own person and make smart decisions, like getting a new team around her..

she's been with the same team for most of her tennis life, and they havent been able to teach her anything new really, sure she's got 2 slams, slam finals and semi finals, but this year has shown that with the next generation of young players, she cant really compete anymore...

ps. im a huge maria fan, and most of this post is probably out of disapointment and shock at her 3rd round loss, so i might reconsider some things when i think about it later...

Let me just say, as another fan of maria, that i agree 100% with you!

I hate him, he's an idiot, he always lets her alone when she's down. What kind of father is he? Masha doesn't deserve that, she has given him sooo much.

Yeah, it's about time she got a new coach.
