Top-10 star Johanna Konta has announced she and coach Wim Fissette will no longer work together, as well as ruling herself out for the rest of 2017.
After narrowly missing out on qualification for the WTA Finals, the Brit was due to serve as an alternate for Singapore and headline the WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai, but now won’t contest either.

She pulled out of recent tournaments in Hong Kong and Moscow due to a foot injury.
And now she’s on the hunt for a new coach, after she and Fissette agreed to end their 10-month partnership.
