Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka is parting ways with Belgian coach Wim Fissette, the former world number one said on Instagram.

Wishing you all the best.”Fissette had two stints coaching Osaka, from 2019 through the summer of 2022 and again when they reunited last year as Osaka launched her return to the game after the birth of her daughter Shai in July of 2023.
Her US Open first-round win over Jelena Ostapenko last month was her first in four years over a top-10 player – and she bowed out in the second round at Flushing Meadows to 52nd-ranked Karolina Muchova. “I feel like I’m working way harder than I’ve ever worked in my life, so it needs to turn into something,” she said.
