Stosur in no rush to appoint new coach

7:08 am on 26 August 2013

Australia's Samantha Stosur says she wants to take her time before deciding on a new coach after splitting with her long term mentor just before the U.S. tennis Open.

The 2011 U.S. Open champion conceded that the timing of her separation from Dave Taylor was strange but said she was in no rush to find a permanent replacement.

Stosur is working with Australia's Fed Cup captain Alicia Molik during the U.S. Open, starting tonight but says she hasn't thought about her long-terms plans.

Stosur and Taylor worked together for nearly six years and formed a successful partnership but just last week the 29-year-old announced they were parting ways.

Stosur says both her and Taylor felt they had come to the end and it was time to call it a day.
