One of the most successful player-coach relationships is no more.

Simona Halep announced Wednesday that her six-year collaboration with Darren Cahill has come to an end.

After six wonderful years working together, @darren_cahill and I have decided that it’s time to end our working relationship.

Thank you D for everything, for making me a better tennis player and a better person. 🤗🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/VOEt4i81Bf

The Romanian, who last week got married, won the French Open under Cahill’s tutelage in 2018. They split at the end of that year as the Australian chose to spend more time with his family, but they reunited in late 2019.
