Naomi Osaka has appointed Belgian Wim Fissette as her new coach as she continues her preparations to try and defend her Australian Open title in January 2020.
The two-time major champion has moved on to her fourth coach in less than a year, hiring Fissette, who has worked with several Grand Slam winners in the past.
The former professional guided Kim Clijsters to three Grand Slam titles between 2009 and 2011 and has also worked with major winners Simona Halep, Petra Kvitova and Angelique Kerber.
Osaka has been without a coach since September, when she split with Jermaine Jenkins following a disappointing defence of her US Open title.
