Naomi Osaka<\/a> is reportedly set to work with Tomasz Wiktorowski, the former coach of Iga Swiatek<\/a>. The four-time Major winner announced her sudden split from Patrick Mouratoglou on Sunday, days after Emma Raducanu<\/a> beat her in the second round of the WTA 500 in Washington.<\/a><\/p>\n

Osaka is already on the hunt for a new mentor. The former world No. 1 is competing at this week\u2019s Canadian Open, and Polish coach Wiktorowski is jetting out to join her.<\/p>\n

According to Forty Deuce<\/a>, Swiatek\u2019s former coach is travelling to Montreal for a meeting at the WTA 1000 event. For now, their link-up will only be a trial, rather than a proper coaching partnership.<\/p>\n

But Osaka has been left without a full-time coach after parting ways with Mouratoglou. The French tennis coach, best known for working with Serena Williams, joined Osaka\u2019s team last September.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the Japanese tennis star took to Instagram<\/a> to announce their split. \u201cMerci Patrick. It was such a great experience learning from you. Wishing you nothing but the best,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are one of the coolest people I\u2019ve ever met and I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll see you around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following her 6-4 6-2 defeat to Raducanu last week, Osaka will face qualifier Ariana Arseneault in her opening match in Montreal under Wiktorowski’s guidance.<\/p>\n

The Polish tennis coach has not worked with a player since parting ways with Swiatek last Autumn. He joined Swiatek\u2019s team in 2021. He guided her to the world No. 1 ranking, and she won four of her six Major titles while working with Wiktorowski.<\/p>\n

He won the WTA Coach of the Year award in 2023 for his work with Swiatek, and also coached former world No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska from 2011 to 2018.<\/p>\n

Osaka previously worked with \u2018super coach\u2019 Wim Fissette, who now coaches Swiatek. The pair had an on-and-off four-year partnership, which ultimately came to an end last September.<\/p>\n

A few weeks later, Fissette started working with the world No. 3, and they recently won their first Grand Slam title together<\/a> at Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former world No. 1 Osaka also worked with Sascha Bajin from 2017 to 2019, winning her first two Major titles under his guidance. They split days after her 2019 Australian Open<\/a> triumph. Jermaine Jenkins worked with her for a few months following their split.<\/p>\n
