Chinese tennis player admits he cried as his coach left for Osaka

China’s first racket Zheng Qingwen She admitted that she burst into tears after coach Wim Fisette told Naomi Osaka that she would return:

“I knew he contacted the Osaka team at the US Open. Right after the match [с Соболенко в четвертьфинале] He said he felt like he had no connection with me. He’s never said this to me before. I had strange feelings, so I talked to my coach. I asked Wim if he would join the Osaka team. Fisette said no, he can’t be like that. However, after a week of rest, he suddenly told me that he would work in Osaka.

This was a huge shock for me, my teammates and my family. I burst into tears when I heard this. There were no fights or disagreements in our work together. This collaboration was nothing new to me, but he didn’t do anything wrong either.

I believe this is an unethical end to collaboration. I understand Osaka could make her a better offer. I understand that this might be a more advantageous place from his point of view. He has a family to support. I understand his decision, but that doesn’t mean I will forgive him for such a decision,” said Zheng Qingwen.

Note that Fissette coached Osaka from 2020 to 2022. Naomi, who is preparing to return to the field next season, gave birth to a daughter on July 9.
