« Surprised, yes a little because there is nothing in her start to the season that could let us think that she was going to achieve the best performance of her career in Australian Open“>Grand Slam. I was in Australia when she played Osaka in Melbourne. As usual, she fought well but I saw nothing that could lead me to the idea that she was going to do an Australian Open of this level. Afterwards I am no longer in their team, so I cannot go further in my analysis but in my opinion I would still say that there is a certain form of logic. It’s a fair return of things compared to the daily work that Alizé does. When I was with her it was the beginning of her experimentation with hypnosis, meditation, yoga. Recently, I read that she had accentuated all this to be more serene, more efficient. We know Alizé, she has a fiery temper and sometimes her emotions take over. And there on the Australian Open it seems that she manages to transform her opportunities each time, which was a bit of her fault., so that makes the difference. She is in the quarter-finals, and I tell myself that anything is possible, so Vamos, as Alizé would say”
Bastien was Alizé’s coach from Roland 2017 to Roland 2018
