Babos also belonged to Timi Kiki with the AO main board

Timi Babos started 2021 in a great way, the classic of the MOL Team, with three victories, also fought its way to the main table of the Australian Open individually. In doubles, of course, the defending champion has no such problem, although the news is that Timi and Kiki Mladenovic will be second in the tournament.

I’m so glad to be able to say I’m a main event at the Australian Open for the ninth year now, I’m very proud of that. “I went to Dubai for the qualifiers to get up, I trusted the hard work I did and I also felt in my head that I had caught myself together. Timi told the MOL Team.

Good tactics and an improved organ are the reason

Timi said he has a lot of work to do to get the season off to a good start. “I’ve worked a lot in the last few months, but it’s used to me. I believe in hard work, but sometimes I really want to be spasmodic, which hinders good performance. I’ve played a lot of training games in recent weeks where we’ve tried to simulate match situations, but of course a bet is always different. “

“It took me a lot to improve my servo against Schmiedlova, because she pounded a bit in the first two rounds, but luckily there was no problem. , 6: 7 (5-7), 6: 2 from his last qualifier.

Thus, however, that both agents will be there, the question arises as to how the strange burden of tax after 2020 will be able to withstand the double burden with the individual. However, Timi is not worried. “Double workloads aren’t a problem, as I’ve been used to for years. Of course, I really wanted to be there as an individual in Melbourne, since I would have had a very hard time with the two weeks of quarantine just waiting for the couple.”

“Plus, Kiki is my designated coaching partner for the first week, so I” owed “him too for getting up. Overall, I’m very happy to get up,” Timi said cheerfully.

Everything is okay with the old-new coach

At Roland Garros, it turned out that the professional management of Timi’s work would be taken over from James Joyce by Thomas Drouet, the former coach of the MOL Team class. The player from Sopron told our website already after the change that he was sure that learning from the mistakes he had made earlier would not be a problem working together. And he was right.

“We’ve learned a lot from the past and we’re trying to talk even more, give each other feedback. I’m not saying that everything is always happy and complete harmony, because there are small frictions between us, but we try to discuss it and not carry it within us.”

Thomas is a good coach, I never denied that, but there is a relationship that gets tired. Before starting again, we analyzed, talked, and adapted every day, within reason, of course. “The goal is common, we believe in each other, we are motivated. I don’t think there would be much change in the work, but in communication anyway. Here I would like to mention that in the person of Peter the Great he also has a big role to play in succeeding in qualifying matches, ”Timi concluded.
