Naomi Osaka's former coach has provided insight into their recent split, explaining that while they successfully addressed her physical injuries, there were ongoing challenges in regaining her competitive edge. The coach noted that Osaka had improved her practice quality and was physically ready, but they were unable to fully restore her match competitiveness during their time together.

Despite the separation, the coach expressed no regrets and conveyed optimism about Osaka's future. He believes she is prepared for strong results if she finds the right support to enhance her efficiency during matches, and he remains confident in her abilities as a top-level competitor.

Naomi Osaka's former coach weighs in on split

First of all, we had many things to solve and we went step by step. We had to solve a physical issue because in the first six months, we worked together, she got three big injuries. We solved that problem. Since January, after the Australian Open, she got injured at the Australian was the last time. For me, all the physical problems are solved. Second, the practice I think could be better. I think now she's practicing extremely well in terms of quality. The thing that was missing was the competitiveness. I think she's a great competitor, but at that time, she was not as good as a competitor as I think she can be and she has been in the past. This is the thing that we didn't solve. I wish we could have more time to solve it, but we didn't. That's life and I have no regrets on that because that's the rule. When you work in high level, time is important and you have to solve the problems fast. I think that was the key that was missing. When we stopped, I said to her, I think you're ready. If you find the person that will help you get back your efficiency during the matches, I think you're ready to do great results right now. I hope it's going to happen very soon. Actually, she's doing well for the moment in Montreal. Let's hope she's going to go all the way. I think her level of tennis is here. Physically, she's ready. She's a great competitor. She's a great champion. At some point, it's going to work out. I have no doubt about it.
