I hope that evantually Caroline will rise to the occasion and just get more aggresive. She actually was more aggresive in 2008 than now. She needs to get back to the playing style that helped her make a name for herself. I noticed that when she got to the top 10, she didn't worry about being aggresive anymore and rather used her speed and angles to help her.
@JamieOwen05 I know, she also needs to change to babolat, I noticed that she became much more defensive with that racquet. I think that Yonex racquets are made for aggressive players seeking control. Caroline's old racquet was PERFECT for her because it offered a lot of power, but control too.
@rlopen13 she made a slam final with that, not saying that's the only reason but IMO she probably would have made another final hadn't she switched to yonex. maybe AO 2011 actually.
@JamieOwen05 Yeah, she could have won a grand slam with that racquet. I'm looking back on her yonex racquet promo an its like like "I will win a grand slam in 2011 with this racquet" I'm just thinking, " Uh, no you didn't."
