(Reuters) – Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza and coach Conchita Martinez have parted ways after three years together, Martinez confirmed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes just over a week since the 29-year-old Muguruza said she was taking an extended break.<\/p>\n

Martinez began working with her fellow Spaniard in 2019 although she was also with her when she won the Wimbledon crown in 2017 when Muguruza’s coach Sam Sumyk was absent.<\/p>\n

“Garbine and I have mutually agreed to end our employment relationship,” Martinez, who also won Wimbledon during her illustrious playing career, said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

“They have been fantastic years, full of great emotions and wonderful experiences, both on and off the court. It has been a pleasure to work with you, Garbine. I wish you the best.”<\/p>\n

Muguruza was ranked number one in 2017 and as high as third at the end of 2021 but is now outside the top 100 after failing to win a match this year.<\/p>\n
