WTA: Johanna Kontakt separates from coach Fissette and ends season

The British number one Johanna Kontakt has broken up with her coach Wim Fissette and announced the end of the season. She will not travel to Singapore as a substitute for her, nor will she play at the Elite Trophy in Zhuhai.

“After careful consideration, Wim Fissette and I have decided to terminate our working relationship,” Contacts said in a letter.”We have achieved a lot and I am very grateful for his patience, hard work and expertise.

The 26-year-old will now take the time to recover from her foot injury, which she had braked in the second half of 2017. Fissette spent a little less than a year as a trainer of contacts.

“I will be working with my team over the next few weeks to find the right way forward for me. I don’t want to make a quick decision about a new coach, I want to make the right decision.”

Contacts won the Masters event in Miami this year and reached the semi-finals at the home Grand Slam in Wimbledon, where she lost to Venus Williams. It currently ranks tenth in the WTA ranking.
