The death of her father in August has affected her a lot. There is still a great difference between the right side of his body and the left one. You need solid bases, we could maybe work like crazy but I have to take care of her and her growth process so I have to slow down. Ours is a long-term project made up of various steps. We'll see if I can take it to my side on this journey and not just in the short term.
Amanda will be working with Carlos till the end of the Australian Open. There is also a probability the two will be training together on a longterm basis.
