Naomi Osaka serves to Ariana Arseneault during her match in Montreal, Canada. (AP) Japan's Naomi Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam singles champion, will work with Polish coach Tomasz Wiktorowski on a trial basis after splitting with Patrick Mouratoglou after less than a year together. Osaka announced the parting with Frenchman Mouratoglou, the former coach of superstar Serena Williams, on social media on Monday before defeating Canadian qualifier Ariana Arseneault 6-4, 6-2 in 76 minutes in a first round match at the WTA Canadian Open in Montreal. Osaka, ranked 49th, began working in Canada with Wiktorowski, who coached Poland's Agnieszka Radwańska from 2011-2018, helping her reach the Wimbledon final and world number two ranking in July 2012. Wiktorowski also coached Poland's Iga Swiatek from late 2021 until last October, a run where she won four of her six career Grand Slam singles titles, before adding the most recent at Wimbledon earlier this month. Osaka, who improved to 11-1 in matches against players ranked outside the top 100, will next face 13th seed Liudmila Samsonova in the second round. They have split four prior meetings but Osaka won the two they played on hardcourts. Former world number one Osaka, 27, began working with Mouratoglou last September.

"Wishing you nothing but the best. You are one of the coolest people l've ever met and I'm sure I'll see you around." Mouratoglou said on Instagram he was "grateful for the trust, the journey and what we have built together," and told Osaka he "will always root for you." Under the Frenchman's guidance, Osaka reached the Auckland final in January but retired after the first set with an abdominal injury. She won twice at the Australian Open but retired after the first set in her third match with the same injury. Osaka won her first WTA title since the 2021 Australian Open in May at the L'Open 35 de Saint Malo, but fell in the first round of the French Open and the third round at Wimbledon.

Naomi Osaka Splits With Coach Patrick Mouratoglou After Tough Season
Last Updated: Naomi Osaka has split from coach Patrick Mouratoglou after less than a year. Ranked 49th, she struggled in 2023, losing early in majors. She now starts at the WTA 1000 in Montreal. Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka announced on Monday that she has parted ways with coach Patrick Mouratoglou after less than a year of working together. The Japanese star had teamed up with the Frenchman, who has long been the coach of 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, in September of last year. After giving birth to her daughter, Osaka did not compete in 2023 and has struggled to maintain consistency since returning to the professional circuit a year ago, currently ranked 49th. This year, she was eliminated in the first round of the French Open and the third round of Wimbledon. Most recently, in a highly anticipated match between two of tennis's most commercially influential and frequently scrutinized young stars, Great Britain's Emma Raducanu defeated Osaka 6–4, 6–2 at the Washington Open, resulting in another disappointing outcome for the Japanese player. This encounter marked their first career meeting, where Raducanu showcased a sharp and composed performance to overcome the four-time Grand Slam champion. 'Merci Patrick… it was such a great experience learning from you," the former world number one shared on X. Regarding Osaka's 2025 season, two results stand out – a runner-up finish in Auckland and her first clay title at the WTA 125 (Challenger) tournament in Saint-Malo. With Mouratoglou gone, it will be interesting to see if Osaka brings in someone new to assist her or decides to go solo for a while. Today, the former world No. 1 is starting her campaign at the WTA 1000 tournament in Montreal, where she faces world No. 515 Ariana Arseneault. Despite her recent struggles, Osaka enters as the major favourite against the 515th-ranked Canadian. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 15:56 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
