Milos Raonic has surprised everyone after he hired John McEnroe as his 3rd coach. The American will join a team that is already strong of Riccardo Piatti (a great coach) and former world no.1 Carlos Moya.
Why I hired McEnroe…
Milos explained why he decided to team up with John “I was sort of just looking for another set of eyes to be a bit more efficient on grass, and I think people are seeing it as just plain folks on grass, that’s what it’s far from. It’s about generally improving. I want to improve that coming forward and I want to improve putting more pressure on my opponents. I feel like I was a lot more efficient at the beginning of the year coming forward, and it’s something that I would like to put a lot of attention to and find a way. And it just works out with grass that’s probably the thing that will benefit me the most.
… and about Wimbledon
Then the Canadian added “And now there is going to be three weeks leading to Wimbledon that we are going to work, and really put some attention to that and just find that go sort of groove, that efficiency. Then other parts of my game, what I can do a bit differently to be better, and it’s not just by any means just with the intention of Wimbledon. It’s about generally improving.”
Milos has just lost in the third round of the Roland Garros against Albert Ramos-Vinolas, and he will now start his preparation for the grass season.
