McEnroe urges Nadal to change coach

Three-time Wimbledon champion John McEnroe has told Rafa Nadal to "get a new damn coach".

The 14-time Grand Slam champion has failed to make it past a major quarter-final this year after losing to Wimbledon qualifier Dustin Brown.

McEnroe said the 29-year-old should drop his long-term coach, uncle Toni Nadal after his second-round exit.

"It might be time for some fresh blood in the Nadal camp," McEnroe said on BBC Radio 5 live's 6-Love-6.

Nadal lifted the title on Centre Court in 2008 and 2010, but has not progressed past the fourth round since losing the 2011 final to Novak Djokovic.

The Spaniard has said his best days at Wimbledon may be behind him, and McEnroe feels it is time for change.
