Following her US Open fourth-round exit, Naomi Osaka has parted ways with Jermaine Jenkins, just six months after welcoming him to her coaching team. The 21-year-old put out a statement on Thursday to announce the split.
“I’m writing this to announce that me and Jay [Jermaine Jenkins] won’t be working together anymore,” Osaka posted on Twitter. I’m super grateful for the time we spent together and the things I learned on and off the court but I feel like now is [an] appropriate time for a change.”
