Tiafoe Parts Ways with Coach David Witt
Witt, former coach of Venus Williams and Jessica Pegula, announced the split on Instagram.
After a productive year that netted a US Open semifinal in 2024 and a Roland-Garros quarterfinal this June, David Witt and Frances Tiafoe have parted ways.
Witt, also the former coach of Venus Williams and Jessica Pegula, announced the news on Instagram.
Thanks, Big Foe, for the ride this last year and a half,” Witt posted on Instagram. “Some things come to an end, but good memories, great times, and a friendship last forever. Thanks, brotha – nothing but love. ❤️”
Tiafoe has also split with another member of his team: Jordi Arconada, who has been by his side for the past half-decade. “After five years of hard work and fun it is time to let go,” Arconada said in his own Instagram post. “I will always be thankful for the opportunity you gave me to come work with you and I’m extremely proud of what we have achieved together. Super excited for what the future has in store for me and for new beginnings.”
Tennis ExpressCurrently ranked 29, Tiafoe went 29-23 on the season. The 27-year-old former world No.10 recently shut down his season.
He also took to social media to announce the end of his season, and the parting of ways with his team.
“2025 season has come to an end early this year for the kid. It wasn’t the season I hoped for but lots of lessons learned on and off court,” he wrote. I want to give a huge S/O to my team. I’ve been with these guys for several years. We’ve shared some incredible moments that I’ll remember forever.
That being said I’ve decided it’s time for a change. I truly appreciate the love..energy…passion and brotherhood. It’s been a great ride and only bigger and better things for all of us ahead.”
