Amanda Anisimova’s Coach Split Highlights Concerning WTA Trend Among Top Stars
Amanda Anisimova’s recent split with her coach, Hendrik (Rick) Vleeshouwers, highlights a recurring trend in the WTA where players dismiss their coaches shortly after the coach receives a ‘Coach of the Year’ award.
This pattern has also affected top players like Iga Świątek and Jessica Pegula, often occurring after a player achieves a career-best season or ranking, suggesting a complex dynamic between peak performance and coaching relationships.
