It came as a surprise that Strycova announced a split with coach David Kotyza, who joined her team ahead of the 2018 season and led her to her career-best year, highlighted by her maiden singles Grand Slam semifinals at Wimbledon, four doubles titles, including Wimbledon, and a run to the title match of the Shiseido WTA Finals Shenzhen, all with doubles partner Hsieh Su-Wei.
