MELBOURNE: Australia’s Sam Stosur has split with her long-time coach David Taylor, the former US Open champion said yesterday.
Taylor oversaw Stosur’s transformation from a doubles specialist into a formidable singles player after teaming up with the Australian during her comeback from the tick-borne Lyme disease which sidelined her for much of the 2007 season.
“We’ve had a tremendous working relationship and I owe so much of my success to Dave’s hard work and enduring support,” the 29-year-old said in a statement.
“His dedication during the many highs and lows of my career has been unwavering both on and off the court. I wish Dave all the very best for the future.”
