Johanna Konta splits with coach and ends season

Thursday, 19 October 2017 16:00

Johanna Konta has split with her coach and called an end to her season.

The British number one has parted ways with Wim Fissette after less than a year together.

The 26-year-old currently has a foot injury and has confirmed she will not compete in any more tournaments this season.

Konta has had a disappointing end to the campaign, after what was such a bright start. The world number 10 won the biggest title of her career at the Miami Open in April and then made the semi-finals of Wimbledon to climb to fourth in the world rankings.

It quickly turned downhill, winning just two matches and losing her last five since that semi-final defeat by Venus Williams in July.
