Bianca Andreescu parts ways with long-time coach Sylvain Bruneau

Bianca Andreescu announced on social media that she parted ways with long-time coach Sylvain Bruneau.

One week after losing in the first round of Roland Garros Andreescu announced the surprising move on social. Andreescu did not announce any new coach nor are there any concrete pieces of information as to who it might be. Bruneau and Andreescu worked together for 4 years and he has been widely seen as a stabilizing factor in her up and down career.

Bruneau coached Andreescu to her 2019 US Open win and the Canadian player wrote in her Instagram post:

"It is with a heavy heart that I would like to inform my fans that my long time coach, mentor and friend, Sylvain and I, have mutually decided to end our incredible coaching relationship. Our friendship will live forever... it has been an amazing 4 years... I am very grateful for everything we accomplished together and of all our great memories. Sylvain was more than a coach... he is family"

The post is accompanied by a heart emoji at the end of the message underlining her fondness for her long-time coach.
