Writing on social media, Osaka thanked Jenkins for "coming on board" but did not specify his role. The former ATP player had recently been appointed a USTA coach and was previously a hitting partner for Venus Williams.

Osaka's previous coach, Sascha Bajin, had been a hitting partner for Serena Williams and other top WTA players. While working with Bajin, Osaka won her first title and two Grand Slam events, but she said there was conflict off the court.

The No. 1-ranked Osaka had said she wanted to find a coach by Indian Wells, which begins next week. Osaka is the tournament's defending champion.
