Naomi Osaka will have a new coach at next month's Australian Open as she will be coached by Belgian, Wim Fissette in 2020.
Osaka's team confirmed this team to WTA Insider on Sunday; after she ended her longtime partnership with Sascha Bajin ended following her Grand Slam win in Melbourne.
The Japanese ace had both Jermaine Jenkins and her father, Leonard Francois in tow; for the rest of the season but has now decided on a more permanent option.
Fissette has worked with former World No.1s; including Kim Clijsters, Victoria Azarenka, Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep in the past.
Osaka will begin her 2020 season at the Brisbane International in January; alongside many members of the top ten.

They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
