'It wasn't anything personal...'- Naomi Osaka on reasons for changing her coaches after US Open

Naomi Osaka, who has been ranked the world number 1 by WTA, has taken the decision to change her team after the US Open. She had split with her longtime coach in Wim Fissette and was seen training with Patrick Mourataglou just ahead of the China Open tournament this season. It is a huge change, especially in a season where Osaka was struggling with her form.

This has not been the best season for the Japanese star as she has failed to win a single title and keep up to the expectations from the past. However, the 4-time Grand Slam winner had a great start after changing coaches, as she had just won her first game in Beijing after beating Bronzetti in her first game of the tournament. We hope this decision of switching coaches will help the star player return to her form and bear fruits during the second time at the China Open.

Osaka opens up on changing her team

This is an important tournament for Osaka and there are still speculations regarding her change in coaches this season. Osaka has recently opened up on the reason for changing coaches saying, "It wasn't anything personal like nothing crazy happened I just felt like I needed a change."

With this Osaka also opened up on her regret of not winning more trophies with Fissette as a coach stating, "It s**ks because I wanted to win more trophies with Wim Fissette." Some can disagree with Osaka's decision, but we can hope it would help the star in the future and win some big trophies going forward.
