Raonic splits with tennis coach Krajicek

Canadian world No.6 Milos Raonic, on the back of his French Open exit, has split with coach Richard Krajicek after less than six months together.

Milos Raonic and coach Richard Krajicek have decided to part ways after less than six months working together, the Canadian has announced after his exit from the French Open.

The world No.6 did not win a title under the former Wimbledon champion, who was appointed in December, and progressed to the final in two of nine tournaments.

Raonic lost to Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta on Sunday in five sets in the fourth round at Roland Garros.

"My coach, Richard Krajicek, and I have decided to part ways. This decision has been a mutual one," Raonic said on Twitter.

"I would like to thank Richard for his help with my game, his dedication and professionalism. I wish him all the best."

Raonic, who has continued to work with long-time coach Riccardo Piatti, will aim to get his season back on track later this month on grass at the Wimbledon warm-up tournament in Birmingham.
