Dimitrov Splits With Coach Rasheed

MELBOURNE — World number 11 Grigor Dimitrov has split with coach Roger Rasheed, days after his disappointing third-round exit from Wimbledon.

The Bulgarian confirmed the move on Twitter.

"After much thought I have decided to end my working relationship with Roger," the 24-year-old tweeted.

"We had many accomplishments together and I wish him all the best going forward."

Long touted as a future grand slam champion, Dimitrov began working with Rasheed in 2013 and made the semi-finals at Wimbledon last year on the way to cracking the top 10 in a breakout season under the Australian.
