It's so strange to me that he's struggling with confidence when he looked awesome at the US Open before losing to eventual winner Thiem. This is a tight turn around and in normal years he would of had more practice on clay so hopefully it's just that but I agree Felix needs a high profile coach to take him over the top. I wonder what Becker is doing, maybe Andy Murray will move into coaching and he can work with Felix.
