Days After Firing Shots at Famed Tennis Coach for Disrespectful Naomi Osaka Decision, 20-Year-Old Chinese Prodigy Escalates Rift Further With Major Moves

Naomi Osaka, Qinwen Zheng, and Wim Fissette are stuck in a triangular loop. The startling decision of Fisette to go back to Osaka put an arrow in Zheng’s heart. The Chinese star is in the crucial career phase and needs an experienced coach to keep her on the right track. But Fissette decided to join hands with the Japanese champion as the new mommy is set to resume her professional duties in 2024. The German coach officially joined Zheng’s team four months ago, in June.

The Chinese top seed minced no words in clarifying that Fissette broke the contract. In a recent move, Zheng officially ended little contact between her and Osaka’s coach.

Qinwen Zheng dropped the final bombshell of the infamous split with coach

The Chinese star first sensed the dramatic turn in her career during the US Open. Unfortunately for her, he could not soak in the joy of reaching a maiden Grand Slam quarter-final. Reason? She knew something was brewing up between Fissette and Osaka’s team. Zheng sensed her heart shattering from a distance and started making up her mind.

A week ago, Zheng revealed her heartbreak in a press conference, saying, “I cried after hearing his decision. I understand that Osaka can provide a better offer, and he has a family to support. I understand his decision, but it doesn?t mean I will forgive him.”?In a recent move, the Chinese superstar buried all the bygones for good.

A Chinese tennis writer reported that Zheng swept her social media clean by deleting pictures that linked her to Fissette. She also unfollowed the German on Instagram; it is almost like that chapter in life never happened. On Twitter (now X), the tennis reporter wrote, “Zheng Qinwen deleted all pictures with Wim Fissette and unfollowed him on Ins.”

The tennis writer also pointed out how the Chinese top seed leaves no stone unturned in standing by her words. The post further read, “She is really putting “I understand his decision but that doesn’t mean I will forgive him” into action. Queen.”?This is not the first time the rising WTA champion has experienced such agony. Before the US Open, Zheng’s former coach joined the coaching team of the American No.1 and became a sensation in the tennis world.

Coaches of Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff – An expensive career blow to Zheng

Have you ever wondered who Zheng worked with before Fissette stepped in? The silent force behind Gauff’s success – Pere Riba. The Spanish coach associated with the Asian Games gold winner, Zheng, for two years. The duo announced their mutual split before the Wimbledon Championships. The 20-year-old hired Fissette, and Riba joined Coco Gauff.

Gauff’s unprecedented growth is a universal knowledge, and the World No.19 might not have expected such a leap for Riba. Zheng put her faith in Fissette, who previously coached the Grand Slam champions Kim Clijsters, Victoria Azarenka, and Angelique Kerber, besides a former World No.1 whose career witnessed a tragic fall due to a doping ban.

Fissette coached Simona Halep, too, before Patrick Mouratoglou took over. The track record of the German coach is impressive, and Zheng has significant goals to achieve. Despite her rapid growth, the WTA champion feels she is behind her peers and has many steps to climb. Fissette’s decision to breach the contract and leave her hanging at the peak of her career for another top-ranked player devastated Zheng. Her former coaches are now associated with Grand Slam champions, and Zheng is left alone in the middle of a desert.

What would be the rising champion’s next move? Stay tuned for more updates, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
