Grigor Dimitrov has responded to his lacklustre 2015 by parting ways with coach Roger Rasheed. The world number 11 bombed out of the first round of the French Open before slumping to a straight-sets defeat in Wimbledon’s third round to Richard Gasquet.
The 24-year-old has long been viewed as the next grand slam champion, but has failed to meet that expectation, despite reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals last year.
While still licking his wounds from that premature Wimbledon exit, Dimitrov moved quickly to end the partnership with Rasheed that had started in 2013. “After much thought I have decided to end my working relationship with Roger,” Dimitrov posted on Twitter on Monday night.
