Overview
- Amanda Anisimova, who announced the move Friday on Instagram, and coach Hendrik (Rick) Vleeshouwers posted statements confirming they ended a two-year partnership.
- The decision followed her fourth-round loss to Belinda Bencic at the Miami Open, which capped a mixed hard-court stretch.
- Under Vleeshouwers, Anisimova won two WTA 1000 titles, reached back-to-back Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and the US Open, and hit a career-high ranking of No. 3.
- Her 2026 start has cooled by comparison, with an Australian Open quarterfinal, a Dubai semifinal, and Round of 16 exits at Indian Wells and Miami.
- Anisimova is entered as the No. 2 seed at the Charleston Open starting March 30, and neither side gave a reason for the split as Vleeshouwers said he will spend time with family.
