You know Czech people are very direct.<br /><br />About all the players who have academies etc, most are helped by their sponsors like the Adidas program with Steffi Graf and Henin. So it is as simple if you have no sponsors like Martina had for many years you have to put your own money in it I would not do that if I where her. <br />Amelie Mauresmo did get direct chances by the French Tennis Federation. It is a pity we will maybe never know if Martina will be a good coach or not. <br />Martina has like all the other players been mentor of some youngsters and she made all her doubles partners play better by coaching them ask Svetlana Kuznetzova. Francesca Schiavone has gotten volley lessons from Martina, she was well loved by other players especially the lower ranked and many Italian and that says enough of a player. <br /><br />Do not make Martina look like a monster, Chris Evert was always the favorite in America and Martina was so bad. I have now heard enough of Evert to know she has done things that were not so classy while Martina made her mistakes in the open but the damage was done already and will never be repaired. <br /><br />The academy of Chris Evert did not spew out lots of champions it took forever before a decent player emerged and she works now together with the USTA.<br /><br />The amazing thing Martina is not bitter even has great wit but you with your patronizing article does not know what makes a person. I am the one who is bitter for the last couple of years a lot of people feel free to have a go at her with all non reasons I see a lot of defamation. I see so many filth and vitriol I hope she will not see it. <br />When she had the early breast cancer I read so many denigrating remarks. When she did get high altitude sickness Kilimanjaro some people suggested she should not have quit meaning she would die and get rid of her, while the good people were worried sick. <br /><br />Martina gives speeches around the world and she has a family so she can only coach partime. I am from Europe and heart Martina commentate for radio and television nothing wrong with it does easily both matches for women and men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
