Jasmine Paolini parts ways with longtime coach Renzo Furlan just weeks ahead of French Open 2025

Tennis sensation Jasmine Paolini has called games, sets, and matches for a decade with his coach, Renzo Furlan. The 29-year-old star player has ended a startling partnership that was at the epitome of the level in 2024 with Grand Slam finals, a Paris Olympics gold medal, and a coach of the year crown for her long-time mentor.

Jasmine Paolini stated that Renzo has been an important part of her life, hailing him both as a person and a player. The star player has acknowledged the 54-year-old legend's mentorship, which allowed her to make it to the finals of two Grand Slams in 2024. The Italy-born star has talked about how her mentor has helped her in taking the game to the epitome of the level.

“After 10 amazing years together, I want to say a huge thank you to Renzo Furlan for everything he's done for me. We've been on an incredible journey and shared unforgettable moments, including an amazing 2024 with the finals at Wimbledon and Roland Garros and winning Olympic gold in Paris. And even in 2025, we've started strong. Renzo has been such an important part of my growth, both as a player and as a person. Everything I've learnt from him will stay with me and continue to guide me in this new chapter; he'll always be an important person in my life," Jasmine Paolini said.

Jasmine Paolini's stellar 2024 year!

The star player was the French Open and Wimbledon runner-up in 2024, won the doubles gold medal at the Paris Olympics and helped Italy lift Billie Jean King to help herself become world number four. After that, Furlan's efforts did not go unnoticed, as he went on to win WTA Coach of the Year for his amazing work with the 29-year-old star player.

How has Paolini performed in 2025 so far?

Paolini even carried the great run heading to the year 2025. This ongoing year has been solid but seems less sparkling, with Paolii suffering a third-round exit in the Australian Open 2025 and making it to the semifinals of the Miami Open 2025 before eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka defeated her in the final showdown.
