Top American Madison Keys has ended her coaching relationship with Lindsay Davenport, Keys’ agent confirmed to WTA Insider.
Davenport, and husband Jon Leach, worked with Keys throughout the past year, beginning in the 2014 offseason. Together, they helped Keys reach her first Grand Slam semifinal at the Australian Open and finished the year ranked 18th in the world.
Because of her family and commentating responsibilities, the former world number one Davenport wasn’t able to travel full-time with Keys.
In her run to the Charleston final, Keys’ hitting partner was 28-year-old Jesse Levine, who will become her head coach for the 2016 season. Levine reached a career high singles ranking of 69th in the world back in 2012, before retiring from the sport with an elbow injury.
