Tennis Parent/Coach Nightmare
Tennis Coach/Parent accused of abuse
Whatever the facts it is likely that the relationship between the coaching father and his daughters suffered badly from their experience with him as a coach. This should be an object lesson for anyone thinking of coaching their kids.
Tips
Use a passive style that is always supportive.
It is their life not yours so keep it in mind when having expectations.
Make tennis fun because the reality is that they will likely never play professionally. The statistics back this up and even playing as a pro should be thought of as a stepping stone to coaching based on the small number of players that can make a living as players.
Be a good parent first. Tennis is secondary.

It is an amazing side of the draw and I only wish I were there to see it play out.

Novak Says Tennis is Not Number 1 Priority - Smart Man
http://www.tennisworldusa.org/news/news/Novak_Djokovic/41267/novak-djokovic-tennis-is-not-my-no-1-priority-anymore-/
This happens to all tennis players when they get married, have children, and find these responsibilities competing with their tennis. Something has to give and tennis is often the thing that must see less effort simply because before that it was all consuming.
Good for Novak. He is seeking balance. Fed did the same thing as many others before them.
