\u201cFour years, two Slams and a whole lot of memories,\u201d Osaka wrote in a post to her Instagram stories. \u201cThanks Wim for being a great coach and an even greater person. Wishing you all the best.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Osaka and Fissette\u2019s collaboration spanned two distinct periods. Their first chapter together began during the 2019 offseason and continued through the summer of 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They reunited last summer as Osaka prepared to return to tennis following the birth of her daughter, Shai, in July 2023. Under Fissette\u2019s guidance, Osaka achieved notable success, including winning the 2020 US Open and the 2021 Australian Open. The pair also reached the finals of the 2020 Cincinnati Open and the 2022 Miami Open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The timing of the announcement comes eight months into Osaka\u2019s comeback on the Hologic WTA Tour, which began at the Brisbane International in January. Despite an optimistic outlook and impressive victories over six Top 20 players, Osaka has faced challenges in her return, reaching only two quarterfinals in the 16 tournaments she has competed in this season. Her current ranking is No. 75.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Osaka's most recent tournament was the US Open, where she was defeated in the second round by eventual semifinalist Karolina Muchova. Her 2024 Grand Slam performances have been underwhelming, as she did not advance past the second round in any of the four major tournaments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, she did secure her first Top 10 victory since 2020 against Jelena Ostapenko in the first round in Queens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the wake of her loss to Muchova, Osaka reflected on her struggles and the emotional toll of her performances. \u201cIt\u2019s been a little difficult because obviously I can only gauge how I\u2019m doing by results,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI feel faster. I feel better, but I lost in the second round. So it\u2019s a little rough.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Osaka also noted the personal challenges she faces with each loss. \u201cIt\u2019s like a dramatic word, but I feel like my heart dies every time I lose,\u201d she shared. \u201cIt sucks a lot, but I\u2019ve been trying to be more mature and learn and talk more about them.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
