World No.6 Eugenie Bouchard will consider joining the super coach bandwagon as she attempts to snare a maiden grand slam and become No.1 in the world.
Bouchard is currently without a coach after ending her eight-year partnership with Nick Saviano last November.
In the meantime, 35-year-old former hitting partner Diego Ayala has joined up with the Bouchard camp to help her through the Australian summer.
Bouchard is in no rush to line up a full-time coach, but said she would consider following the leads of Agnieszka Radwanska (Martina Navratilova) and Andy Murray (Amelie Mauresmo) by hiring a tennis legend down the track.
“That would be an interesting option for sure. A lot of the players are starting to do that a bit,” Bouchard said.
“I think a voice of someone that has been there before is definitely helpful.”
Bouchard enjoyed a breakout year in 2014, with the 20-year-old reaching the final of Wimbledon, as well as the semi-finals of the Australian Open and French Open.
Despite the success, Bouchard felt the time was right to part ways with Saviano.
“I felt like I needed to go in a different direction and I need some new voice to get my game to a higher level,” she said.
“My ultimate goal is to win a grand slam and to be number one in the world.
“I felt like I needed to change and at the moment I am working with someone that I have worked with in the past and that is where it is at for now.
“It’s going good so far.”
Bouchard started 2015 in poor fashion, losing 6-0 6-4 to veteran Lucie Safarova at the Hopman Cup.
But she rebounded strongly against Serena Williams on Tuesday night, thrashing the world No.1 6-2 6-1 to revive Canada’s hopes of winning the mixed-teams tournament.
Bouchard’s next assignment is against Italian Flavia Pennetta on Thursday.
