Daria Kasatkina has decided to end her partnership with coach Carlos Martinez, as reported by Fernando Murciego. Kasatkina, 25, worked with Martinez for the past four years. Together, Kasatkina and Martinez made some notable results.
Last year, Kasatkina made her first Grand Slam semifinal at the French Open. Also last year, Kasatkina returned to the top-10 for the first time since 2019. But unfortunately, Kasatkina has had a rough start to 2023 as she is just 3-4.
As a result, Kasatkina has decided to make a change.

Kasatkina kicked off her 2023 season at the Adelaide International 1, where she suffered a surprise defeat to rising teenage star Linda Noskova in the first round.
