NAOMI OSAKA ANNOUNCES TEAM SHAKE-UP AFTER WRAPPING 2025 CAMPAIGN
Naomi Osaka parts ways with fitness coach Guillaume Brunoir, completing her 2025 team overhaul. After a resurgent season under coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, the changes fuel optimism for a major 2026 comeback.

A member of Naomi Osaka's team confirmed his departure, thus, the team will undoubtedly look different in 2026.
This season, Osaka was coached by Patrick Mouratoglou. Due to the Frenchman's prior successful and long tenure with Serena Williams, which lasted nearly ten years from 2012 to 2022, his selection attracted a lot of interest.
Given that Mouratoglou has not done well since splitting from Williams, some people questioned the decision. He was involved in Simona Halep's doping nightmare and briefly served as Holger Rune's coach.
Osaka and Mouratoglou split the company during the 2025 Citi Open in Washington because they were unable to reach the heights they had planned for, despite a promising start that included making it to the 2025 ASB Classic final in January.
Guillaime Brunoir, a strength and conditioning coach of the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, stayed with Osaka's squad until the end of her season when she sustained an injury at the 2025 Japan Open in Tokyo, despite Mouratoglou's departure.
Officially, that collaboration is over. Brunoir thanked the four-time Grand Slam champion for their journey together and declared the end of their relationship in a message posted on his Instagram page.
"Some chapters are intended to make an impression. Every court, every session, every challenge—from Los Angeles to Osaka. Silent concentration, brief intervals, invisible work, and the amusement we experienced together. I am proud of the effort, development, and friendship formed throughout these months. I am grateful for the journey we took together. All set for the next action."
In her brief response to Brunoir's article, Osaka thanked him for everything he had done for her and wished him luck in his future endeavours.
"I appreciate everything. I wish you luck in the future.
Who Osaka will choose to replace Brunoir is unknown. The well-known fitness instructor, who formerly worked with Yutaka Nakamura, has been with Emma Raducanu since the end of 2024.
Under the direction of new coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, Osaka has flourished.
At the 2025 Canadian Open, Tomasz Wiktorowski was officially announced as Mouratoglou's replacement. Before abruptly breaking up with the six-time Grand Slam champion, he enjoyed a very good run with Iga Swiatek till the end of 2024.
His appointment resulted in success right away. Osaka made it to her first WTA 1000 final in more than three years in Montreal, and she was just one set away from winning the trophy when home favourite Victoria Mboko came charging back to win.
Osaka then made her first Grand Slam semifinal appearance since her victory at the Australian Open in 2021. The Japanese sensation lost 7-6, 6-7, 3-6 after coming within a tiebreak of the US Open final in 2025.
Wiktorowski and Osaka's collaboration has raised hopes that she will have a successful 2026 campaign. She had largely struggled for form since returning from maternity leave at the beginning of 2024 until Wiktorowski's arrival.
The former WTA world No. 1 could return to the top in 2026 if she has a healthy off-season free from ailments. Given that Osaka is still one of the most important players in tennis, many believe it would be beneficial for the game.
RED BULL STAY CALM, COOL, AND CONFIDENT DESPITE MCLAREN MOMENTUM
Red Bull's Laurent Mekies denies their 2025 car focus is due to 2026 PU concerns, calling it a strategic choice to improve development tools. As Lando Norris retakes the title lead, the F1 championship battle intensifies.

In Mexico, McLaren CEO Andrea Stella implied that Red Bull's choice to continue working on its 2025 vehicle was a reflection of a lack of clarity surrounding the upcoming Red Bull-Ford power unit.
However, that notion has been rejected by team manager Laurent Mekies and Dr. Helmut Marko.
Mekies stated it has nothing to do with 2026.
"We would have too many unanswered questions going into 2026 if we did not get the most out of this car by the end of the season. We made the decision to spend more money on this vehicle in order to fix its shortcomings and increase its speed.
It greatly increases our confidence in our 2026 tools, strategies, and techniques. Yes, the new project will require less time and effort, but it was a deliberate choice. Performance has nothing to do with it.
According to the Frenchman, the team's strategy is centered on comprehension rather than risk. "We think there will be a net benefit, so we are doing this. We can apply our methods to 2026 and are now verifying them. If it led to difficulties, we would not do it.
Yes, there is a cost, but we think it is worthwhile.
Red Bull's momentum was halted by Mexico as Norris resumed his winning ways, despite Verstappen's recent race surge. Despite replacing an unproductive Oscar Piastri as the championship leader, Verstappen actually cut his overall lead to 36 points.
Norris' resounding win was a welcome change for Stella. Verstappen is still a competitor, but we have the advantage in the next races, he stated.
We have demonstrated that we have a car that can win races and, in some situations, dominate, which has boosted confidence in the championship.
This is the most crucial element that permits Lando and Oscar to compete for the Drivers' Championship, the Italian engineer continued. It has to do with competitiveness, not mathematics. Although the previous races in Austin, Baku, Singapore, and Monza were challenging, we have now once again proven our strength.
In Mexico, Piastri's decline worsened, but Stella stayed positive. Oscar claimed that despite losing some points to Verstappen, he gained a lot of knowledge this past weekend. To make sure you are competitive in every situation during the last stretch, you make that kind of investment. We are stronger and more hopeful when we leave Mexico.
Marko of Red Bull concurred that the battle is still open. "It is no longer assured that one team dominates at a circuit, and there are still 116 points available," he remarked.
We still have a shot. Since Max is the center of attention, I hope the two McLarens stick to their fair play policy.
Verstappen's pace in Mexico, according to Marko, was more powerful than it seemed. In race trim, we knew we would perform better. Max compared himself to a hunting hound, saying that once he scents anything, all else vanishes and he attacks.
But at McLaren, the focus is already shifting from gearboxes to mentalities. Now at the top of the rankings, Norris is under increased scrutiny after the Mexican fans jeered him.
"The question now is whether Norris can take use of his second chance as title leader - or if things will turn unstable again," former Formula One driver Timo Glock told Sky Deutschland. Has he comprehended why the pressure was too severe for him earlier, why he couldn't drive freely back then?
The odds are on his side if he has and has figured out how to deal with it, Glock continued. It is easier said than done, though. It is a completely different picture once the helmet is on and the pressure increases.
JANNIK SINNER BREAKS SILENCE ON POSSIBLE DAVIS CUP REVERSAL
Jannik Sinner is standing firm on his decision to skip the 2025 Davis Cup, showing frustration at repeated questions. The Italian star prioritises his off-season and 2026 Australian Open preparation over defending the title.

When Jannik Sinner's decision to skip the 2025 Davis Cup Finals next month was brought up again, he appeared a little miffed.
Top players commit to competing in the finals because of its scheduling, which runs from November 18 to November 23. They would only have a little more than a month off until 2026 starts if they played until late November.
During Team Italy's championship runs in 2023 and 2024, Sinner was their lucky charm. The nation's remarkable recent supremacy in the sport was established by the women's victories in the Billie Jean King Cup in 2024 and 2025.
Even if the 2025 finals will be placed in Bologna, Italy's chances of winning the Davis Cup for a third time in a row appear to be slim after Sinner declared he would not participate.
The four-time Grand Slam champion said he had previously won two Davis Cups with his Italian colleagues and that he planned to use the additional week to get ready for the Australian Open in 2026.
Nicola Pietrangeli, a fellow Italian legend and two-time French Open champion, was not pleased with Sinner's choice or his justification for it. He believes that modern players are more concerned with money than with patriotism and that it was disrespectful to their nation.
Sinner stated that while people have the right to their opinions, he did not wish to contribute anything further in reaction to the criticism. It is possible that the ATP world No. 2 assumed the topic would be abandoned at that point.
Rather, a reporter at the 2025 Paris Masters questioned Sinner about the possibility of changing his mind. It is still mathematically conceivable to finish as the year-end No. 1 because Sinner had stated that it would be impossible before Alcaraz's surprise defeat by Cameron Norrie in Paris.
Compared to his response to Pietrangeli's and others' criticism, Sinner's response was even more succinct and direct. The 24-year-old reiterated that he had nothing else to say and indicated the choice had been made.
"No, the choice has been made. However, I covered everything a few days ago.
Sinner's frustration with the inquiries surrounding his Davis Cup selection was evident. Even though it makes some sense, missing a home team event is an unavoidable consequence of being a top player.
Recently, Sinner criticised the four Grand Slams.
Sinner was irritated with the four Grand Slams in a different interview for not doing more to address concerns about prize money and other advantages, including healthcare and pensions, that were brought up by elite players earlier this year.
The Wimbledon champion this year expressed frustration that the major events wanted to address some other concerns before fully interacting with players and said that initially, encouraging conversations had not resulted in any follow-up steps.
Twenty elite athletes, 10 from the ATP and 10 from the WTA, wrote to the Grand Slams earlier this season to request a larger share of the money made to be distributed as prize money and other benefits.
It will be interesting to watch if the Grand Slams address those issues and make adjustments in 2026.
