Former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic says he has ended his coaching stint with world number six Elena Rybakina after her Australian Open exit.
The pair started working together in mid-December on a trial basis.
Rybakina, a former finalist at Melbourne Park, lost 6-3 1-6 6-3 to Madison Keys in the fourth round on Monday.
On Tuesday, Ivanisevic posted on Instagram that he would not be continuing with Rybakina, writing: “After our trial period that finished with the Australian Open, I wish Elena and her team best of luck moving forward.”
Ivanisevic previously coached 24-time Grand Slam men’s champion Novak Djokovic in 12 of his major wins.
Rybakina announced at the start of January that she wanted to bring her former coach Stefano Vukov back into the team – despite Vukov being provisionally banned by the WTA.
Vukov, 37, has been suspended by the women’s governing body while an investigation into his conduct towards the player continues.
Vukov has denied any wrongdoing and Rybakina has said she never made any complaints about him.
Croat Vukov was not given credentials to attend the Australian Open as part of 2022 Wimbledon champion Rybakina’s team.
