Doesn't appeared this was mentioned yet - Petra Martic split with her coach in early April and is now working with Francesca Schiavone, at least thru the clay court season.

Very nice statement.
But not surprising at all. I actually expected it to happen earlier - and it likely would have if not for the virus situation and Bianca's perpetually injured state.

Bruneau is a local coach for her - a Tennis Canada guy from Quebec who has known Bianca for several years. Bianca has shown that she loves the spotlight, and so likely feels she needs a more internationally known / high profile coach. It's too bad, because Bruneau seems like a decent chap - a typical understated Canadian personality, not very interested in the spotlight.

Then again, maybe it was HIS idea to separate. Perhaps he'd prefer to help a player who actually participates in more than 3 tournaments per year.

Maybe she'll enlighten us the way Jen Brady did after her unexpected split from her coach. The only thing I'm wondering is if this is about her fitness and health. Because she has a new fitness trainer, and it was him, not the coach, who encouraged her repeatedly to stop playing in that Miami Open final so she wouldn't push the injury, make it worse and miss more time. She was publicly appreciative of him saving her from herself, her words not mine.

At the same time as splitting with Bruneau, there are reports that Andreescu has now signed with IMG.
This would not be surprising in any way, as IMG is about the highest profile management agency on the planet.

If that's ^ how the two of them are going to communicate with each other, I'll go out on a limb and say that this association won't work. :P

I'll go out on a limb and say Bianca's current trajectory in tennis won't work.

Romain Deridder is no longer coaching Leylah Fernandez.
He wasn’t in Montreal with her, so I was wondering. And I’ve just received confirmation that they are no longer working together.
They were together for about 18 months, if I recall correctly.

In case you didn't hear about it during one of her matches, Paula Badosa split with her coach Javier Martí. It appears it occurred right before the Canadian Open. Not clear on whose decision it was to split.

I think her new squeeze is her new coach...

She appears to have a make-shift team at the moment, not an actual new coach. Definitely easy to believe among the group this week and last is a current boyfriend helping out in the meantime. Just going off what she's saying, it could be she's not being 100% truthful and boyfriend will become coach very soon. It'll make her words this week much less genuine if that's the case.
