There's something going on with the title of WTA Coach of the Year. The award for the best coach seems to be cursed because all those coaches who have been awarded have ended up parting ways with their player within a few months. The latest case is that of Renzo Furlan with Jasmine Paolini. But back in 2023, it was Tomasz Wiktorowski who received the award, coaching Iga Swiatek. Also in 2022, it was David Witt, former coach of Jessica Pegula. In 2021, the winner was Conchita Martínez for her great year with Garbiñe Muguruza, but she had the same fate as the mentioned coaches. In 2020, another one of Swiatek's coaches, Piotr Sierzputowski, was the lucky one. While in 2019, it was the coach of Ashleigh Barty, Craig Tizzer, and in 2019, the coach of Naomi Osaka, Sascha Bajin. It will be interesting to see who receives the award this year and how long they last coaching their player.
