Naomi Osaka, former world No. 1 tennis player, has again parted ways with her coach Wim Fissette. This news comes shortly after her underwhelming performance at the U.S. Open, where she faced a second-round exit.

Osaka and Fissette had a successful partnership, clinching two Grand Slam titles—the 2020 U.S. Open and the 2021 Australian Open. However, this marks the second time they have ended their professional relationship.

In an Instagram story shared late Friday, Osaka, currently ranked No. 75, expressed gratitude toward Fissette, thanking him for being a great coach and an even better person. Fissette echoed similar sentiments in his own Instagram post, reflecting on their productive collaboration and shared memories.
