“Italian tennis player talked with the press”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Perhaps unexpectedly, but after ten “amazing years”, Paolini parted with her coach Renzo Furlan – the best coach of the year WTA (2024) – and hired Mark Lopez. Lopez won the Olympics with Raphael in 2016, and then became one of the mentors of Nadal together with Carlos Moya.
Together with Lopez Paolini won the WTA 1000 in Rome.
According to 29-year-old tennis players, there were no fundamental changes in the approaches of coaches.
“In the end, tennis remains tennis. They don’t give me opposite advice. About all the same. Perhaps only the communication manner is slightly different.
Everything is working well. I am satisfied. We have not yet had time to practice, so I wonder how it will be when more time will come to work. ”
Hot weather in London, of course, can play her hand in an attempt to repeat last year’s breakthrough.
“It was hot in Hamburg, in Berlin as well. Let’s see. I like the heat. Last year, honestly, I really liked when the roof was closed. Although, to play under the roof, you must first get to this court.
I think the main thing is to drink a lot of liquid. Because if the match is delayed, it will be very difficult. ”
Paolini also acknowledges that the paired discharge helps her single career, and she is not going to abandon him, despite a tight schedule.
“It added to me confidence. And in the lone as well. These were incredible emotions – especially because of the Gold Olympic Medal, which became a huge achievement.
I really like to play in pairs. It helps me in a lone – a feed, a game near the grid. It is nice to have such a “problem” when you play both there and there. So so far I will definitely continue to speak. ”
