The duo together played just two tournaments, Auckland Open and Australian Open 2020. Amanda Anisimova reached the semifinals in Auckland but she was a first-round upset in Melbourne.
According to the reports, Rodriguez will now return to Beijing and develop his academy. The Belgian tennis legend Justine Henin also works there.
Initially, when Anisimova and Rodriguez signed their league, the tennis experts called it to be one of the promising player-coach pairs in the women’s game. Previously, Rodriguez was a full-time coach of the Chinese ace Li Na, under his tutelage she claimed her second major title at Australian Open 2014 and attained the World Number two ranking.
