I watched the match replay last night before I went to bed and you could just see tension between the father and the boyfriend.

I can't say I'm really all that surprised after the way he berated her yesterday. I think it's a combination of Caro wanting to try something new, anything at this point, and seeing if that gets her to that next level. I do think she's beginning to crack to the whole "being number one without a major" though. One can only handle it for so long and she's been dealing with it for nearly a year.

The thing is I can't really see this change helping her more in terms of her game. I can't see her changing her swings to create more power and having her move up in the court. She'll definitely try, and it may work in some matches but her fall back will always be to play defensive. And realistically, that's what's won her so many matches. She's really only lost matches to players who have been able to move just as well and rally with her and those who can hit through her. Vinci last week was just too much slice and dice and McHale could hit winners while moving extremely well.

I guess either way we'll be able to point to this as a turning point.
WELL, at least we can always be comforted with the knowledge that, regardless of any coach/life changes- one thing we can always count on: Caroline will always remain dull.
