Carlos Rodriguez is a tennis coach most notable for his longtime tenure with former World No. 1 Justine Henin. As of 2011, the pairing has been together for 15 years, but a portion of that span includes Henin's brief retirement from the pro circuit.[1] Upon Henin's comeback, she insisted that she could not have any other coach than Rodriguez.[2] Rodriguez obliged. He has since commented that her aspiration to return to the highest echelon of the women's game - and rankings, as she retired while holding the No. 1 ranking - has as much to do with factors off the court, that is, mental preparedness and her private life, as it does with her physical fitness or shot-making abilities.[3]
