Belinda Bencic , Stefanie Vögele and Jil dispense with Teichmann on the rise of game imFed Cup against the USA next week. Are you disappointed as a team captain?
no. Because for us, there was a Horrorlos: to play In the week to Lugano away from home against the USA. Exactly a hit. In the middle of the European clay season in San Antonio on hard court to compete, does not fit anyone inside is useful to the program, even the Americans. In addition, the first world group may be increased in 2020 from 8 to 16 countries. Then we would have already ascended.
you Tried, team leader Bencic to turn?
no, because I can understand their decision. You come back from the United States, now plays in Lugano on the Sand, now you have to switch back to the pad, the continent and the time zone. It is important that you is more to the Fed Cup Team, and it does, like all the others. The team spirit we have created, is intact. I see you are also in our Team Chat, we have almost daily contact. Our goal remains to win this competition once.
Bencic is ranked 20 in the WTA world rankings, and is the Fifth of the year standings. Are you surprised?
not at All. She has incredible Timing and incredible skills to read a game. If your self-confidence is true, it plays extremely fast, ahead of the opponent in a half a step and push away. Through her many injuries, she had become in the meantime slower. Thus, they risked more, to avoid you coming on the Defensive. Meanwhile, it also wins points from the Defensive, and this gives you additional peace of mind.
most of the strongest people of Switzerland, it goes up. A Coincidence?
If Belinda at the top of involved with draws all of them, there’ll be a knock-on effect. You know, trained, and says to himself: Okay, in this area, I should be able to keep up. If a Winner is in the Team, this helps the whole team. It is enormous, as many of Switzerland play indoor in the front. For a small Nation that is the madness.
Where to Timea Cox at the Moment? Rank 112 is likely to be only a transit station.
. For now, the Season in which it is strongest. She was for many years one of the world’s best clay-court players, to stand twice in the semi-final of Paris. This ability is still in you.
“The Region around rank 150 is, for many, a sticking point.”
Ylena In-Albon and Conny Perrin take two debutantes to Texas. What’s Your Assessment?
Ylena plays interesting, very cleverly. She has a good Hand and very varied. But you can shoot opponents not wegschie – you must manage. Perrin plays a type, such as Steffi Graf, with a lot of Slice on the backhand. So far, you were missing, but some additional HP to be able to with the Forehand all the difference.
The only player of your team, which is stagnating at the moment, Jil Teichmann.
Eventually, the trail to the summit is steeper. The Region around rank 150 is, for many, a sticking point. Since the power density is higher, the players get more experience. It plays well, has already knocked often at the door, but the necessary Exploit.
Golubic and Vögele were both classified to rank 50. Where do you see the two now?
Viktorija has proven that they can compete on certain days with all of them. But it has no specific beat, can’t save you, if it works. For Stefanie, it is similar. But both have the potential to improve here and there, even by a few percentage points.
so Far, 16 out of WTA tournaments, with 16 different winners. What does that say?
the performance density is greater and the absolute Superstars are missing. There used to be a two class society, the Top 8 and the Rest. Now everything is much more open. You could list 50 players who can win a Grand Slam tournament. To do this, Belinda is undoubtedly one of. But also Timea: Why shouldn’t she win the French Open? You just have to be at the right Moment in top form and a bit of luck.
