From what little I have learned about Goerges her primary weapon is her serve. She hit 12 aces in her 1R match and she has the ninth fastest serve recorded. But unless she starts serving like Lisicki did at Wimbledon I think she should be manageable for Caro.

Caroline got a lot of her serves which might have been aces, didn't win them all but made Georges think.
In the end it was 3-2 to Caroline in serves.
A day at the office win, came forward etc in the first set some.
Pity she wasted her energy on the line calls, and when every thing was going well in the second set, didn't try some of the new stuff more.
Yes I read that in the Danish Press as well, my point being that instead of getting (visibly) irritated about something she could not alter, why not use the energy on trying new stuff and winners etc.
In fact they showed the points she challenged again on tv in and they looked out or in as called.
I don't think it was a good tactic.
That's your opinion Caro and several coaching experts agree that he has done a marvellous job for her. I believe they are right, that said, he does say some stupid things at times, but name one coach who doesn't.

Who besides people in the Danish tennis federation? and please you can't compare Piotr's idiocy to any other coach.
It is my opinion and I'm sorry if being negative about Piotr annoys anyone in this thread. I love Caro and I am 100% behind her but on Piotr I can't understand, don't get him and don't think he really knows what the hell he is doing with Caro's career. I mean telling Caro to argue with the umpire and linespeople to get calls in her favour as a tatic :weirdo:
If Piotr has a major say (which I think he does) in who Caro's coach will be for the future then I am worried.

I recently read an article about how some training experts supported what he did, and said that very few others could have made the same result, I'll see if I can find the link later...
And yes I certainly can compare him to other coaches. Every coach in the world will try to defend his or hers decision when being questioned by the press, it's basic politics
Many many players who have been coached by parents have been more or less destroyed mentally (or physically) Pierce, Capriati, Lucic, Dokic just to name a few. Piotr is in no way abusive or unreasonably tough. He has brought Caro from nothing to the absolute top of the game, so saying the he doesn't know what he is doing is beyond unfair!
You can be as critical of Piotr as you like, I just prefer that you have something to support your criticism
Oh btw. regarding a possible new coach, he has said several times that if they find a coach that is able to do a better job than he is he will let go of course.

Dokic's dad is a complete nutcase. Thankfully for Dokic she has no contact with him anymore.
But I Danish female tennis there's also an insane tennis dad. Remember the Danish TV program "Sandies Paradis" shown 10-10-2002. It was about the then 14-year old talented Danish tennis girl Sandie Sørensen and her parents who were pushing her tennis career? Her dad was her coach and during the TV program he sent her to a Spanish tennis academy south of Barcelona when she was 11 years old, where she was the youngest pupil. And after this she only saw her parents and two younger brothers every 6 months. Once when Sandie 12 years old and home visiting her parents she ran away from home and the police started searching after her and TV asked people to look for her. She was found shortly after again.
This TV program was shown before Wozniack became known, and to this day many danes still think that this TV program was about Caroline and her parents, becuase they forgot the names from the TV program and just rember it was about a talented youg Danish girl. And Sandie is 21 years old today, so only a couple of years older than Caroline.
Sandie's dad Tonny Nørregaard Sørensen was put in prison last year for trying to hire two assasins to kill his ex-wife Anette Bendix Sørensen (Sandie's mom) and her new lover: http://www.bt.dk/krimi/kendt-dansk-tennis-far-bestilte-lejemord-paa-konen-og-hendes-elsker

Yeah I remember Sandie :sad: she was/is a good girl, but her dad was way to keen to make a star out of her. Apparently he has became more and more psychotic, it's a tragedy.
Last thread went to 5000 posts
When I started that one, Caroline lost to Schmiedlova in Wuhan after being up 61 41
Remember that?
Now she is #1 for week 71 next week, and won the Australian Open and Singapore.
Next she gets a rest, then on to Indian Wells where she is a former Champion and...

Caroline Wozniacki: A great Dane
Part of article: http://www.tennishead.net/prozone/hot-stuff/2008-02-19/great-dane/
“I just saw it as an opportunity to show the world who I am, that I can play,” Wozniacki tells Tennishead casually, like taking the women’s tour by storm as a teenager is no big...
First of all, this is an OFF-topic thread, yet it's a rather specific one so it won't detract from the value of "Caro's Cafe" at all. As a word of encouragement to other posters, the OP(myself) will very rarely visit here, and you have reason to believe that with the infrequency of my posts as...
