Russia’s Daria Kasatkina has parted ways with her longtime coach Vladimir Platenik. The 20-year-old World No.31 earned her first career title under Platenik this April in Charleston, and reached the second week at a major for the first time at the U.S. Open in September.

 

Today, I would like to announce that after three years my coaching relationship with Vlado Platenik has arrived to the end. We spent an amazing time and reached a lot of heights together. It was an important cooperation and productive experience for me. I want to thank Vlado for his support, and that he has always been on my side, and to wish him all the best in the future.
