Zheng Jie has finally got herself separated from the Chinese Tennis Association. The hope is that she’s going to be able to have a bit more freedom to choose where she competes, how often and with whom. This way, she can start working her way up in the rankings faster than she usually does. Have we seen the last of Zheng? I hope not! Her style of play is top notch, but the CTA chief says that he thinks Zheng has actually gotten worse since she left earlier this year. Hopefully Jie will be able to get herself moving next season when she might be able to get herself into the Finals of Wimbledon and other Grand Slam tournaments. She has a lot of strength and just needs to get the coaching back to where it’s supposed to be.
