Joyce gets the axe
I was in Key Biscane today and everyone noticed that Marias coach Mike Joyce that has been with them for 3 years was replaced. There is no word on who was with her. Allthough it was heard her hitting partner couldn't make a ball in the court. Yuri apparrently told the hitting partner that he would only be making 2 dollars a day if he was in Russia and if one more ball was missed he would get axed with no money or food. I guess there is no such thing as loyalty when a bad match is played i guess. Its really a shame because Maria would be nowhere if it wasn't for Mikes brillance.

I guess we'll find that out, won't we? I'll bet you a dollar she wins another slam sooner or later.

Re: Joyce gets the axe
P.S. I like the name, Man-Child; it's a word that is severely underused

Re: Joyce gets the axe
Looks like Maria's going to have to learn a new set of signals.....

Re: Joyce gets the axe
yeah  I don't think that they'd let him go after all that he's done for her.

Re: Joyce gets the axe
If Michael Joyce did get the axe, that may be a good thing. If the best he can do when she's struggling is to yell at her and say "FIND A WAY TO WIN" when he gets a chance to coach during a match, then I have a feeling she could find a better coach. And maybe a coach that wouldn't have allowed a couple of matches with the yips on serve to turn in to a three tournament long stretch of the yips by one of the best servers in the game. And if indeed the hitting partner couldn't keep a ball in the court, then yes, he needs to be axed too.

Re: Joyce gets the axe
Players often change their coaches  Monica went through loads after her comeback. |

Re: Joyce gets the axe
