Tennis - The tennis world has been shocked with Maria Sharapova's decision to fire Jimmy Connors as her coach after just one match - a second round loss in Cincinnati last week. Now, according to Tennis.com, it seems that Sharapova did not even tell Connors herself that their partnership was over.
The world no. 3 made her father Yuri do the honours of telling the tennis legend that his services were no longer required. It also seems that Sharapova's father was the one who was pushing for his daughter to work with Connors.
The Russian has played only one match in the hardcourt season and goes into New York without match fitness on the hardcourts.
