Even if Jennifer Brady was eliminated in the final of the Australian Open, Matthias Mischka from the Regensburg coaching team attested the US-American a “great success”. Brady had clearly lost 4: 6 and 3: 6 against Naomi Osaka in Melbourne today.
Brady “went one better”
At first, from a coach’s point of view, one thinks “there would have been more”, especially because Naomi Osaka did not play in top form, Mischka told BR. On the other hand, the pressure for Brady was very high because she was in the final for a Grand Slam title for the first time. Over the past year, 25-year-old Brady has made a steep climb. Last year Brady from Harrisburg in the US state of Pennsylvania made it to the semifinals of the US Open. Now, with her participation in the finals in Melbourne, she “went one better”, said Mischka.
Preparations for the Australian Open in Regensburg
Jennifer Brady has prepared for the Australian Open at the Regensburg Tennis Club. She trained over and over again in Regensburg over long periods of time. This is also due to the fact that many tournaments did not take place due to the corona, according to Mischka. The contact with the Regensburg trainer Michael Geserer, who also traveled to Melbourne, came through a trainer friend, said Mischka.
Harmonious cooperation with Upper Palatinate
Geserer and Brady met in Asia and agreed to training weeks there. The collaboration in Regensburg was immediately harmonious, says Mischka. The special thing about Brady is that she wants to learn anew every day, says Mischka. She always approaches the training in the tennis hall on Regensburger Weinweg positively. She is not only technically very good, but also has an optimistic attitude and never lets her head down.
Brady attended soccer games and appreciates the old town
Brady, who lives near the Regensburg Tennis Club during the training phases, feels at home in the city. “She really lives in Regensburg when she trains here,” says Mischka. She has already visited SSV Jahn Regensburg twice. She always comes to her own training at the Regensburg tennis club by bike – regardless of the weather, says Mischka.
Brady feels it is a luxury that everything in Regensburg can be reached by bike. She also appreciates the historic Regensburg alleys. She knows the cathedral and all the other sights well by now. Brady will continue to train with Michael Geserer in the future. He had already achieved great tournament successes with the long-standing Regensburg top player Julia Görges.
