It is not a problem of toothpaste. It is not a joke, It is a serious problem about Masha's tennis. With this level of tennis, she has no chance to win the Roland Garros trophy and a medal at the olympic games in London 2012 because there will always be a stronger tennis player than her. 

A real change is needed in her method of training. Her new coach should find the solution. 

Okay if his coach is a Swiss so he didn't find the solution for Masha. So he is not the right coach. 

Djokovic's coach found the solution for him. Everybody in the world sees the excellent results. It is the same for Azarenko. Everybody knows that Vika will be a tennis bomb very soon. 

For Masha it is not the case because her tennis level  is still unstable !!!

Sponsorship activities, photoshoots, fashion... all famous athletes in the world do these activities, it is not an excuse for Masha&her coach not to have good results.

Masha should understand that it is her last years, she won't have another chance in few years to win a Grand Slam because her tennis career will end for ever. 

You didn't convince me with this excuse. It is the job of the coach to improve the level of the player and motivate the player because when a player lost plenty of maches and finals, she discouraged. Masha was always ready to improve her level, she always repeats it to journalists. But the result is not good enough. 

It is better to have a good training than playing plenty of tournaments and losing them all.

Maria's activities for sponsorship activities and photoshoots etc., take up so much valuable time away from the Courts that Thomas has already said that it is difficult to coordinate needed training with her. She is many times just not available to do the necessary training required. The problem, therefore, is not with the coach but with her, herself.

Maybe you should look at things the way Maria does. She makes way more modeling than knocking a ball around.

She probably would have won. The Australia Open, but the other young lady was wearing something way more visual appealing.

It's like in 2010 when she won in Memphis. Had she not been sporting that purple bra under her outfit. Sofia would have won it.

Your right, Maria playing like a little girl... Baby steps an all or is that the cha cha cha in her walk?

Has Maria ever been on a skateboard ?   Preferably a long board, something where she could learn about something close to nature?   When your talking about sliding, etc....road rash and some gnarly stuff.   Which are what pads are all about.

I am happy that many fans recognize that the physical preparation of Maria Sharapova is not enough to win a Grand Slam or an Olympic medal. 

Masha should have a better physical preparation if she wants to win an important tournament. 

She needs to work also on her game, she should vary quickly her game according to the weak position of her opponent. 

Even a change of the coach should be planned. It is better to participate to one tournament and win it than plenty and losing them all.

thomas is doing well, i wouldn't like to think about what her ranking would be if she stuck with Michael Joyce.

Anyway the result is not clear, Masha's tennis is still unstable if you compare her to a strong tennis player such as Azarenka, Na Li and sometimes players who has a lower ranking than her and play well. 

Don't forget that we only live once on this earth and Masha is losing her young years. 

May be her coach or Masha but Someone has to move ass.   A new coach could also help her. 

According to recent Masha's results, I have a feeling that Masha can't win these tournaments: Roland Garros and London 2012; 

IT IS AN ADVICE FOR ROLAND GARROS AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN LONDON 2012 !!!!

i guess your right... she really needs to pick up her game before its too late...

but i don't think Masha will chane coaches anytime soon...

If Masha can't change her coach, it is a pity because she really needs an efficient method of training concentrated on her weak points. Masha has several weak points that is why her tennis level is not the best one.  

Anyway the change of coach is always possible for Roland Garros and London 2012. 

It is better late than never. 

GREAT NEWS!!!

Navrativola is the person who always gave good advice to Masha. 

I am happy to hear from Navrativola that Masha needs a new coach with fresh ideas to increase her level. After a year Masha's results are not good enough because she has several weak points so a new coach will be a good idea. 

Navratilova said. ___________________________________________________________________ She is right. And her coach had to realize it and react. But nothing happens. They let things flow but it flows in the wrong way. Maria is not good enough physically, she has not enough endurance, she has to get more skills, move better ( she is too lazy to move, she must get moved), avoid those DF and unforced errors and upgrade her net activity which is like non existent. A good coach had to realize this since ayear ago, but nothing happened as we saw in all the tournaments she played. It's too bad that now she looses to everybody. ( not only to big ones ).

I can tell that the ranking is not so important if you can't win a final of an important tournament. 

It is better to have a lower ranking and win a grand Slam that being number one and winning nothing important. 

For Roland Garros and London 2012, Masha really needs to increase strongly her level of tennis with the help of a new coach or victories won't happen.

This is what Navratilova said in Paris: ______________________________________________________________________ Navratilova: Azarenka, Kvitova to be great rivals AP - Sunday, February 12, 2012 PARIS (AP)—Martina Navratilova expects a compelling rivalry to develop between Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka and Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova. Speaking ahead of an exhibition match at the Open GDF tournament in Paris on Sunday, Navratilova said Azarenka and Kvitova have all the right attributes. “I think we definitely have the possibility of a great rivalry between Azarenka and Kvitova,” the tennis great said. “They are very talented players. They have really intense personalities. They’re very professional about how they go about it. If they stay healthy, that’s the rivalry to come.” Navratilova was at the heart of the greatest rivalry in women’s tennis when she and Chris Evert split Grand Slam titles in the 1970s and 80s. The 18-time Grand Slam champion cast doubts on Maria Sharapova’s capacity to keep up with Azarenka and Kvitova. Azarenka beat Sharapova in the Australian Open final last month to become the top-ranked player. “I don’t know if she can be fit to compete with those two because they’re stronger physically,” Navratilova said. ___________________________________________________________________ She is right. And her coach had to realize it and react. But nothing happens. They let things flow but it flows in the wrong way. Maria is not good enough physically, she has not enough endurance, she has to get more skills, move better ( she is too lazy to move, she must get moved), avoid those DF and unforced errors and upgrade her net activity which is like non existent.

Yes, but we want that one winner to be Maria, and she needs to hurry p and do somehting before the others get too good for her!

Guys, Gals, you're wasting your time arguing about wether she needs a new Coach or not. Just take a look at the newest News entry on the Homepage and you'll see why her Tennis is only so so. While all the other top names are showing thier skills in Doha and later this month in Dubai, where is Maria? Well, no time for Tennis, she's too busy visiting the Fashion Shows in New York this month. That just about says it all. I rest my case.

Oh, look at the pics..It looks like she left her push-ups in her tennis outfit again.
