I've seen Dan in Jo's box at a couple of other tournaments recently. Not sure when the first one was - possibly Miami.

 Nothing amazingly new but nice write up two days ago by Team Bath about Dan's new role as assistant coach to Jo:

not quite British but maybe an honorary one - Dani Vallverdu is joining Stan Wawrinka as a coach for the grass season

Confirming the post on the Lexington Challenger from Liam Broady's interview:

Samm Butler (who is about 24 and got up to ATP 813 in old money) is now going into coaching and worked with Liam, as friend and as coach, during Wimbly qualis and is now travelling with him and doing the same at Lexington.

Not strictly in line with the aim of the thread, but in the spirit of - Dani Vallverdu is going to be Pliskova's coach for 2020 (given Dani's links with Andy Murray, it felt worthy of comment)

Matt James has sometimes posted on this forum

If I've got it right, he used to be coach at Millfield school but now is working for the LTA on the women's side and, seemingly, has been very involved with Emma Raducanu and had a lot to do with her training this year. In which case, well done Matt !

Good luck to Dan Cox who seems to be coaching Phoenix Weir, one of our very promising youngsters.

He's over the in the US with him for the U14 Orange Bowl.

I thought Dan did a very good job when he was with Eden Silva. All the best to him and Phoenix.

Phoenix is highly rated. Didn't realise he was still u14.

Hate to say this because it will not be appreciated:

I think this guy is just a pretty rich boy with IMG name backing him

He's certainly had plenty of advantages but I have seen him coach and he struck me as very good at it.

Not sure where you might of seen him coaching? At an American Uni? or David Lloyd Woking? Promise you its a big step from either of these to working with the highest level athletes, also dare I say a large step backwards for her from Thomas Johansson to Petchey (really?) now to this guy. I'll skip the female politics in tennis debate as well.

Don't think Katie O'Brien has her own page so, as per her 'third incarnation', as national women's tennis coach, here's a nice piece from the Yorkshire Post that Steven put up.

(Sorry if it's already somewhere else)
