Coco Gauff has parted ways with her coach, Diego Moyano, due to personal reasons on the coach's side.

Gauff has worked with Moyano for about a year, and it was a fruitful relationship. She managed to win a few trophies and become a better player overall. It was because of this that the split was relatively shocking, because it seemed like things were going in the right direction.

The American youngster became the World No. 1 player in doubles and solidified herself as a Top 10 player in singles. She won trophies both in singles and doubles, so purely from a tennis standpoint, there was no reason for the split.

According to the reports, however, the split happened due to personal reasons on the coach's side, which haven’t been revealed. Moyano has released a statement in which he thanked Gauff for the opportunity to work with her, praising her work ethic and wishing her good luck.

"Thank you! After a fantastic year where we achieved many great things, I have to stop working with Coco due to my personal reasons. Thank you so much for this amazing year, plenty of memories."

"It is really a pleasure to work with you, Coco, a real champion on and off the court. Want to thank Gauff’s family for the trust and support along this year. You guys have been amazing. And want to thank, as well, the team that worked hard with me to achieve the goals."

There is a gap in Gauff’s team now, but in time, the American will certainly be able to fill it. There shouldn’t be a shortage of coaches who would want to work with one of the most talented players in recent memory.
