The Australian tennis community mourned the passing of esteemed coach Bob Brett:

Bob Brett’s passing is a great loss to tennis. He was an exceptional coach and widely admired. Bob guided all level of players to success, from Grand Slam champions to those starting out. My sincere thoughts are with Caroline and Katarina and Bob’s extended family and friends.

Very saddened to hear of Bob Brett’s passing, outstanding individual who gave so much to so many. Loved traveling the globe talking every facet of the tennis world with Bob. A passionate caring individual. Thoughts with the Brett family.
