Diego Moyano and Frances Tiafoe Part Ways After Brief Reunion
The coaching partnership between Diego Moyano and Frances Tiafoe has come to an end after less than six months. Moyano announced the split on Instagram on Friday, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to work with the talented American.
The pair had previously collaborated when Moyano was a USTA coach. They reunited in December 2022, with Tiafoe seeking to recapture the success they had achieved together in the past. However, the reunion proved short-lived.
Tiafoe, a former Top 10 player, has slipped to No. 23 in the ATP rankings. Despite a strong showing at the Houston Open, where he finished runner-up to Ben Shelton, his overall record for the year stands at 10-8.
The split with Moyano marks the end of a three-year partnership with Wayne Ferreira, who guided Tiafoe to the US Open semifinals and a Top 10 ranking in 2022.
In a statement, Moyano praised Tiafoe’s talent and character, expressing confidence in his future success. “I have no doubt that you’ll continue to shine in your tennis career, and I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way,” he wrote.
Moyano, an experienced coach who has also worked with Kevin Anderson, Coco Gauff, Tommy Paul, and Reilly Opelka, wished Tiafoe well in his future endeavors.
The reasons behind the split remain unclear, but it is evident that the reunion between Moyano and Tiafoe did not produce the desired results. Tiafoe will now seek a new coach to guide him in his quest to return to the top of the tennis world.
