In an interview with TennisHead, Sasha Bajin, one of the most sought-after coaches in the tennis world, told the reason that kept him away from the ATP, men’s tennis, and keeps it in the WTA, women’s tennis. “One of the things that put me back from the men’s circuit is that it is very difficult to reach the top because it is always the same players who are at the top and share the best titles on the circuit,” said the coach, clearly alluding to the Big Three.
A top-notch coach
Sascha Bajin has trained players of the stature of Caroline Wozniacki Y Naomi Osaka, and now you will start working with another former number one: Karolina Pliskova. You recently stopped working with Dayana Yastremska In the midst of some particular statements by the tennis player’s father, who assured that some tweets in which he congratulated Osaka for defeating her influenced the decision to end the link.
Bajin’s explanation after untying
«Our year was not bad. She played her first WTA final in Adelaide, defeating players of the stature of Kerber, Vekic, Sabalenka and Babos. It was an incredibly good result for us. Then the coronavirus arrived and everything changed. I didn’t see her for six months and it was difficult to be able to work together after so many months apart, “said Bajin, who did not refer to the statements of Yastremska’s father.
Why don’t you lead men?
«I don’t want to name names, but some of the ATP tennis players were really attractive. One of the things that put me back from the men’s circuit is that it is very difficult to reach the top because it is always the same players who are at the top and share the best titles on the circuit, “argued the coach to explain why he does not lead men . Bajin considers the women’s circuit to be more challenging, as at the moment there is not a very clear domain.
Analysis
Sometimes what is not said is very important, perhaps even as important or more important than what is. If one of the best coaches in the world says that the same players always win everything in the ATP – he means Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer Y Rafael Nadal – and that’s why he doesn’t direct in the men’s circuit, he thinks this will continue like this for a while longer and that it won’t change anytime soon.
