It is similar to well-known truth that it is usually much harder to go from number 10 to number 1 than it is to go from number 100 to number 50. So, a great coach may be helpful in his situation.

But then again he does, because Rafa's dominating him. So we're either expecting a lot or a little from Darren, depending on our perspective.

If Darren is able to improve Roger's game, which will take a few months because it is impossible to achieve instantaneously, this development will be good not only for Roger and his fans but for tennis in general.

I believe Roger understands that it takes time to form a fruitful coaching relationship. It is quite childish to dump your coach as soon as things are not going silky smooth. From the bottom of my heart, I wish their co-operation will last. Roger is now at the most difficult phase of his career and we can not under-estimate the hurdles he is facing.

I don't know - such losses would definitely put Cahill in an awkward position, but I think Roger trusts him and respects him enough not to blame him if he goes out to Gilles Simon in the quarterfinals of Miami. I think the two will last through Wimbledon at least - that will be the big tester. Hi Mark-y Mark!

You think? I wonder - the only way I could see that happeneing is if they meet in both the Indian Wells and Miami finals and Roger loses. That's no totally out of the realm of possibility, but with Rafa doing Davis Cup and Roger coming back from that non-injury injury, expectations will be lowered. And then it's the clay season where everyone expects Rafa to win everything. The thing is - Federer played great during the Aussie Open. He had that blip against Berdych, of course, but he also double bageled Del Potro and dominated Roddick. And he had more than a few chances against Nadal. . .so I don't know if we're overreacting about the state of Roger's game and what he needs from a coach. Me, overreact about Roger? No way! :) Hey Dean!

And actually it does not have to be Nadal. Losses to any of the other players would yield the same result and maybe even faster, because Roger is almost used to losing to Rafa by now, but losing to other people may still make him mad.

Darren Cahill can help Federer if Roger is willing to listen and change -- not his game, but his tactics. To beat Nadal, he needs only a few more points per match -- especially those break points that he often squanders. Maybe his experiences over the last 14 months will encourage him to be more receptive to Cahill's ideas. I’m all for this!
