Andy Roddick has hired his brother, John, to replace coach Dean Goldfine - you may have seen his brother hanging out with Goldfine at the Australian Open this year. It is being reported that Goldfine will stay on as a consultant.



I think Andy does need a new coach, but not necessarily because Goldfine sucked - I think Andy's game just isn't flexible enough, and he needs to really mean it when he says he will be aggressive. A tough year would be justified if he were going out on a limb and trying new things, but so far it has been a lot of talk. I'm hoping this proves to be a turnaround point for Andy.
