MELBOURNE — Australian Nick Kyrgios has split with a second coach in a year after deciding to part ways with Todd Larkham just days before the start of Wimbledon.
One of the game's bright young prospects, the 20-year-old wrote on his website that the decision was mutual and the pair would remain friends.
Larkham worked with Kyrgios in his junior days and was in a second stint with the Australian after he parted ways with former coach Simon Rea after Wimbledon last year.
"It’s never an easy decision to end a coaching relationship and to do so prior to the start of a grand slam is even more difficult," said Kyrgios, a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon last year and at his home grand slam in January.
