Jasmine Paolini fired her tennis coach Marc Lopez after her second-round exit at Wimbledon 2025.
The Italian tennis star announced the decision on Instagram, expressing gratitude for their time together.
What happened?
Paolini started working with Lopez in April, following a split with former coach Renzo Furlan.
The two-time Grand Slam finalist is still searching for her first major title.
She currently sits at No. 5 in the WTA singles rankings, one spot below her career-high.
Why it matters for Jasmine Paolini
Paolini's decision to fire Lopez comes after a disappointing Wimbledon 2025 campaign.
She beat No. 402 Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 in her opener.
But No. 80 Kamilla Rakhimova of Russia ended her run, winning 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
What comes next?
Paolini will take time to reflect on her next step, seeking a new coach to guide her career.
She has learned a lot from Lopez, appreciating his hard work and energy.
Paolini's career-high ranking of No. 4 was achieved in October, and she is now looking to regain that form.
The Italian tennis star is 29 years old and has been playing professionally for over a decade.
Her experience and skill will be crucial in finding a new coach and achieving her goals.
Paolini's fans will be watching her next move closely, hoping she can find the right guidance to win her first major title.
