Wilander ends coaching Madison Keys after 8 days

30 March 2016

Few days ago we wrote that Mats Wilander has started to coach Madison Keys and now the Swede announces that the relationship is already over (“We have completed our cooperation and I am on my way home”).

The end of the relationship is extremely mysterious also because during their cooperation Madison has managed to reach the 4^th round in Miami after beating US Open runner-up Roberta Vinci on the way.

I still can’t get over this 8-day coaching malarkey with Keys. Although truth be told 8 secs of Wilander is usually enough for me

Madison Keys was undefeated with Wilander as her coach, so there’s that.

My reaction when Wilander-Keys was announced was basically: “????” – so I’m not sure I’m surprised it’s already over.

GOAT Wilander. Keys didn’t lose a match with him as a coach.

Way too early to credit Wilander for anything, but there is the phenomenon where the player is energized/refreshed by new voice in team.
