Johanna Konta cracked the Top 10 this season. She'll conduct a coaching search in the offseason.

The 10th-ranked Konta has split with her coach Esteban Carril. The Australian Open semifinalist confirmed the split today.

"After two-and-a-half successful years working together we have mutually agreed to explore new options," said Konta in comments published by BBC. "Once things are confirmed we will share the new set-up."

Konta, who concluded the 2014 season ranked No. 150, rocketed up the rankings under Carril's guidance this season.




Konta, who has not yet named a new coach, joins Karolina Pliskova, Madison Keys, Elina Svitolina and Milos Raonic among players who have recently split with their coaches.

The 25-year-old Briton beat Dominika Cibulkova and Venus Williams in succession to win her first WTA title in Stanford last summer. Konta went on to reach the quarterfinals of the Rio Olympic Games.
