Veteran coach Fissette announced the split in an Instagram post.

“It has been a privilege to coach Naomi since 2019 and see her grow into the champion she has become,” Fissette said. “She has inspired a whole new generation to fall in love with the game & to speak up for what they believe in and it’s been incredible to play a part in that journey.

Osaka won two of her four Grand Slam titles working with Fissette, who previously coached Kim Clijsters, Victoria Azarenka, Johanna Konta and Angelique Kerber.

The 38th-ranked Osaka has posted a 12-5 record this season. Since losing to Iga Swiatek in the Miami Open final, Osaka has gone 1-2 and was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon due to an Achilles injury.

Former world No. 1 Osaka is scheduled to return to action in San Jose, set for August 1-7th.
