However, deep behind her heroics on the court was some guidance from her former coach Sascha Bajin. Despite the success she got, she decided to part ways with her head coach back in 2019. This came as a shocker to many.

But, in a recent revelation, the reason behind the split up was revealed and the fans could not control themselves from bashing the former coach for his actions.

In the biography ‘Naomi Osaka’ written by Ben Rothenberg, he came ahead and revealed the real reason behind the split up of the two. He suggested that the former coach was found dating a WTA competitor and once found by Osaka, the trust between them was broken. Soon after the tweet went viral, the fans could not hold themselves as they slammed the former coach.

One fan went ahead and said that he did not show up to training as he was having an alleged affair with a Russian WTA professional. “His a** didn’t show up to practice coz he was fooling around with a 19 yo (at 34) & it wasn’t y@atremska it was sofya zh*k “allegedly,” said the fan.

Another fan suggested that he ruined one of the best partnerships in tennis. “Sascha ruined one of the best working relationships he’s ever had because he couldn’t keep it in his pants??” said the fan.

This fan suggested that the former coach did not do the best thing and labeled him as nasty. “oh that man is nasty,” said the fan.

This fan came ahead and suggested that these things need to be stopped. He then went ahead to add that he is hopeful that such incidents will occur again and again. “I’m so tired of reading these many stories about older male coaches dating (grooming) young female players and everyone going, “well, that’s awful and disgusting. obviously this needs to stop,” and then it happens again and again because tennis doesn’t give a shit,” said the fan.

Last, but not least, this user suggested that the former coach was clearly a weirdo. “He’s a weirdo & a h*e,” said the fan.

Thus, the fans went all in and did not spare a word as they lashed the former coach for his act. From the fan’s perspective, it is clear that they were clearly not happy as the two did not end on good terms.

While Ben revealed that this was possibly the real reason behind the split up, tennis sensation Naomi Osaka, in an interview a long back revealed a clearly different statement while backing the split up with the former coach.

In a world where player rivalries dominate social media conversations, I am someone who prefers to enjoy the skills showcased on the court rather than be involved in feuds over the greatness of players. Right from my early childhood, I have been engrossed by the legendary rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It turned me into a ?Fedal? fan and eventually, when I graduated from college, this fandom created an interest in covering their exploits on the court.
