This defeat was one too many!
Germany’s tennis star Jule Niemeier (24) has separated from coach Christopher Kas (43). Her manager Michael Geserer (53) confirmed this to BILD.
At the US Open, the Dortmund player failed in the first round of qualifying 3: 6, 4: 6 to the Greek Despina Papamichail (30). The low point of an unbelievable series of defeats this year.
Even he’s not that bold. This scene leaves even Suárez speechless!

In the summer of 2022, Niemeier would shine with the quarter-finals in Wimbledon, where she lost to her compatriot Tatjana Maria (36). She also showed a strong performance at the US Open, only narrowly losing to world number one Iga Swiatek (22) in the round of 16.
After that it went downhill rapidly. This year she was knocked out in the first round of twelve tournaments, twice she failed in the qualification and five times it was already over in the second round.

After being the German number 1 in autumn 2022 after Angelique Kerber (35) was pregnant, she will now have slipped to 138th place in the world after the US Open.
She had defended herself against criticism at the tournament in Hamburg: “You have to give us time so that we can develop further. The whole country shouldn’t be stressed.” But when the performance curve is going down so steeply, you have reason to worry.

Kas, who has worked with Niemeier since April 2022, did not want to comment on the separation from BILD. The player could not be reached. She is not qualified in doubles and therefore probably no longer in New York.
Niemeier last trained in Regensburg at her manager’s academy. Whether she will stay there is unclear. Geserer is at the US Open as the coach of Croatian Petra Martic (32), who will meet Tatjana Maria at the start on Tuesday.
