GB Off-Season 2013

Thanks DWH

Wish they would post the full dates though, particularly for the La Manga training. Colin F mentioned 15th to 22nd Dec in La Manga, which would tie in with what I was told in Umag at the DC.

Basically they told me - doubles players in La Manga before Xmas and Singles Players after Xmas. I need to know because I have every intention of being down there again this year. Thoroughly enjoyed watching them all train last year.

Maybe I can get another couple of exclusive "scoops" to start the 2014 season with. Watch this space.

JoKo looks in exceptionally good shape if the clips of her training session are anything to go by

I know whilst talking to Ash a while ago, that he had intended to travel to Florida for some winter training with the likes of Evo and Wardy, not sure if thats still on the agenda.

Kedders is training a bit with Andy at the moment in Florida, going the Oli route from last year.

JoKo appears to be staying at home, not sure what advantage there is to warm weather training as opposed to braving the cold and practicing indoors.

Challenger10s has posted an entertaining and (from everything I've gathered about him) accurate profile of Kyle at http://bit.ly/1bhm8I2

(since it's an off-season type feature - 10 young players to watch in 2014 and I didn't want to start a new thread just for the sake of it, this seemed like as good a place to post it as any ...)

From Alex Ward's twitter:

Off to Florida today for 2 weeks of pre-season training. Looking forward to some good weather!

Ah there you go, at least I wasn't completely off the mark with my previous call.

Hev has a new coach, the widely known Argie Veronelli. Former ATP player who once beat Davydenko on the way to making the quarters in Sicily in 2003. Coaching CV very difficult to locate.

Lewis Burton is over in Spain at Soto doing some off-season training.

Marcus seems to be training in High Wycombe and Dan C down at Gosling.

Or, as the BBC know him ...

I think that's only when he's had too many beers wink

The best they can come up with is that Kei Nishikori's coach knows him ...

I wouldn't like to prejudge just because BBC Sport can't get his name right LOL

Seems a bit of a strange one, but hopefully....

Sim · County player

BBC also says

"The pair will travel to Australia on 30 December, where Watson hopes to play in Brisbane, Sydney and at the Australian Open"

Qualifying for Brisbane starts on Dec 27th, Main Draw on Dec 29th so methinks they will be a little late

confuse

You'd have to guess that this guy is one of Bolleterri's young coaching protege's. Hev seems to like the latin americans. I think the most important thing is that she is feeling heaps better, and looking ahead to 2014 with a new found energy.

Here's a little on his coaching FWIW www.orangecoach.com/employers/resume/view/7459 It refers to Massa who won the Orange Bowl doubles in 2005 but made little impact on the Tour
