“I am very thankful for all his hard work and endless support,” Svitolina wrote. “I wish him only the best in his future career!”
Svitolina named Bettles her official coach in 2018 after originally hiring him as her hitting partner. During the five years they worked together, Svitolina won 11 WTA titles and an Olympic bronze medal.
