(Reuters) - Former world number one Karolina Pliskova is confident that splitting with coach David Kotyza will not be a hindrance as she attempts to go it alone over the home stretch of the season, leading up to the WTA Finals in Singapore next month.

Pliskova, who began working with Kotyza last December, won three WTA singles titles this season and reached the French Open semi-finals and U.S. Open quarter-finals, but parted company with the 50-year-old last week after losing the number one ranking.
