Jasmine Paolini separates from her longtime coach Renzo Furlan

An unexpected announcement has shaken the tennis world. Jasmine Paolini has decided to part ways with her longtime coach Renzo Furlan. This partnership had been going on for a good 10 years. The news came just after her brilliant performance at the Miami tournament. The Italian tennis player reached the semifinals, stopping only in front of the powerful Aryna Sabalenka. Despite a good start to the season, the split with Furlan did not seem to be in the’air, thus leaving fans and insiders surprised.

Paolini chose to communicate this decision through a long and moving message on social media, expressing gratitude and respect for her former coach. “After 10 extraordinary years together, I want to say a huge thank you to Renzo Furlan for everything he has done for me,” wrote Paolini, who then fondly recalled their achievements together, including finals at Wimbledon and Roland Garros in 2024 and Olympic gold in Paris. These unforgettable moments were made possible by the guidance and support of Furlan, who played a key role in Jasmine’s growth, not only as a tennis player, but also as a person.

In the message, Paolini also stressed the importance of Furlan’s commitment and sacrifices, often away from her family, to help her achieve her goals. “Everything I learned from him will always accompany me and continue to guide me in the future,” the tennis player wrote, expressing her affection and respect for the coach. “Renzo, I am so grateful to you for everything. I wish you the best for what is to come! Thank you, I love you.”

This separation marks a new chapter for Jasmine Paolini, who will return to the court at the WTA 500 in Stuttgart on April 14, 2025. It will be interesting to find out who will take Furlan’s place as her coach, but one thing is certain: Paolini has treasured the lessons she has received over the years and is preparing to face the new phase of her career with the same determination and passion that have distinguished her so far.
