Daria parts ways with the coach Philippe Dehaes

The Russian wall Kasatkina

There are so many changes at the WTA level in terms of coaches.

Among the most notable, Simona Halep parted ways with Darren Cahill after a couple of fantastic years as the Australian wanted to spend more time with his family. Eventually, the Romanian decided to partner with Thierry van Cleemput (former coach of David Goffin), but that lasted just 1 week.

Naomi Osaka has been hitting the headlines for the last couple of weeks after she abruptly split with Sascha Bajin after she won her back to back slam and she is now struggling to find a solution.

Now it’s the time of the world no. 13, Darya Kasatkina to part ways with her coach Philippe Dehaes after a successful season. The Russian posted a heartfelt message on Instagram explaining why the decision to say

“It is with sadness that I am announcing that myself and Philippe Dehaes are parting ways after a very successful partnership.

I owe Philippe a huge amount for the success I’ve had over the past two years since we started working together but after deciding I need to take control and responsibility for my own tennis, I felt I needed to do this alone and take a break from working with Philippe but as he has a family and children to support, I understand this is not possible for him and it’s best we go our separate way.

Who knows what the future holds, never say never. I’d just like to go on record as saying thank you again to Philippe, you’ll always mean a lot to me and I wish you the very best. Thanks for everything coach, you will always have a special place in my heart. Gonna miss yours on court coachings and all the song you’ve been singing in the car. Dashka💜”

Philippe hit the headlines after the famous “super energetic” on-court coaching that allowed Darya to win a tricky match. I won’t struggle to find another player to coach.
