It wasn’t the perfect summer for Karolina Pliskova, even though she had become the number one after Wimbledon – the Czech was able to benefit from her great start to the 2017 season with victories in Brisbane and Doha as well as semi-finals in Indian Wells and Miami.But even after that it went on with a Paris semi-final and the victory in Eastbourne.

Pliskova already suggested the reasons for the separation of Kotyza last week:”We couldn’t agree on how to develop a more advanced gaming strategy for me,”the press release said.

Kotyza apparently wanted to encourage the already offensive Pliskova to be more courageous, to play a game in the style of his former protégé Petra Kvitova, as the Czech website sport. idnes. cz writes.”Trying to go on the court with courage without fear of defeat,”Kotyza said after the US open defeat against CoCo Vandeweghe.The problem, according to Kotyza:”If she dares, she can achieve great things.But still, the cautious part often outweighs the risk.”

Pliskova is now looking for a new coach, but without a lot of time pressure “That’s not the main concern of my team.I can also play well if I don’t have a coach,”she said a few days ago.
