This is really good news. She has looked like she has needed a training block since the US Open in order to move to the next level.
I understand why she persevered, in order to get as a good a ranking as possible for AO, but because she has being playing catch-up all year on her missed time out, she needs development time. It's amazing she's got to this level without it. But she's clearly drained.
And super news that it's with Roig.
He's got half a dozen areas to work on, but I'm confident they'll achieve significant improvement in 26
Dont blame Emma. Some of the Nike kit has been suspect over the past few seasons. Applies to both the men and the womens game. If it was good enough for Roger F then sure Emma will wear it well. Overall though the retro white and green kit Adidas brought out for Wimbledon was generally hailed as being one of the best collections in recent years.

I know that Emma said that she may cut back a little on tournaments this year but she has entered to Romanian 250 (she is the highest ranked entrant) after the Aussie Open. It would obviously be great for her to add a 2nd title and 250's being her more realistic chance it may be a good move as there are so few of them.
