Venus Williams has reportedly parted ways with her longtime coach and hitting partner David Witt.

Venus Williams has cut ties with her long-time coach David Witt, according to Witt. It was an 11-year partnership, with Witt a hitting partner, then coach.
"It was a great run," Witt told me.

A former pro, Witt says he'd like to stay in the coaching ranks, on either tour.

The two had worked together for 11 years. Williams reached two Grand Slam finals in 2017 and finished at No. 5, but the 38-year-old has since fallen to No. 38 following a lackluster season.
