Samantha Stosur is on the hunt for a new coach after agreeing to end her long and successful partnership with David Taylor following next month's French Open.

Taylor, who has a young family and lives in Europe for much of the year, says logistically it was becoming more and more difficult to continue working with the mostly US-based former grand slam champion.

"I absolutely loved all the hard work with Sam and she thoroughly deserves everything that she's achieved so far in her career," Taylor told AAP on Monday.
