Caroline Garcia has parted ways with coach Bertrand Perret, the man who helped guide the Frenchwoman to a career renaissance in 2022.

“In recent weeks there have been problems. They ended up spoiling the atmosphere and I preferred to stop. I do this job for fun and there was less,” Perret said, according to Bertrand Lagacherie of L’équipe.

News broke yesterday when an Instagram post by Perret referred to the split.

“After the Guadalajara tournament, I decided to stop collaboration with Caroline,” he wrote. “We spent beautiful and amazing moments together… an incredible year!”

Perret was not exaggerating. The Frenchman helped Garcia re-locate her lost aggression and had a close-up view as Garcia caught fire and rode a hot streak through the summer. She started the year at 74, and will appear at next week’s WTA Finals as the World No.6.

Garcia won titles at Bad Homburg, Warsaw and Cincinnati, and reached the US Open semifinals.

She did so by playing aggressive, all-out attacking tennis on the front foot – changes that Perret, a former coach of Ons Jabeur, Peng Shuai and Tatjana Maria, helped her embrace and implement.

It’s rough timing for Garcia, but Perret says that it was better to cut ties immediately.

“I would have liked to go to the Masters, yes,” Perret told L’équipe. “But I'm not a man of pretense and when it's over, it's over. There was no point in prolonging it artificially. I preferred to cut rather than tear.”

Proof that the Hard Yards are Paying off - Grateful Gauff Proud to Take Her Place in WTA Finals

Image
The American has lived up to expectations in 2022, putting up her best season as a pro. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Saturday, October 29, 2022 Age is just a number when it comes to Coco Gauff , the precocious American who is a top-5 player in singles and doubles at the moment, and one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of women’s tennis. Ahead of her debut at the WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Gauff says she is not paying much attention to the fact that she’s still only 18, and continues to set age-related records as she climbs up the WTA rankings. “I don't really pay attention to it,” Gauff told reporters. “Not that I'm not grateful. Obviously I'm really grateful. When it comes to these statistics and stats about my age, I guess… I mean, it's cool, but I feel like it's my life, so I don't look at it as amazing or outstanding as other people look at it.” What is important to Gauff, however, is the fact that she has proved the doubters wrong by
