 "Roger Federer splits with coach after Shanghai Open debacle")
Roger Federer has split with his coach Paul Annacone, the Swiss former world number one said on Saturday.
“After a terrific 3-1/2 years working together, Paul and I have decided to move on to the next chapter in our professional lives,” Federer said on his website.
The statement read,
When we started together we had a vision of a 3 year plan to win another Grand Slam title and get back to the number #1 ranking. Along with many other goals and great memories, these 2 main goals were achieved. After numerous conversations culminating at the end of our most recent training block, we felt like this was the best time and path for both of us. Paul remains a dear friend, and we both look forward to continuing our friendship. I want to thank Paul for his help and the value he has added to me and my team.
The announcement came two days after the world number seven was dumped out of the Shanghai Masters by France’s Gael Monfils.
Federer, winner of a record 17 grand slams, is battling to qualify for next month’s end-of-season ATP World Tour Finals for the 12th consecutive year.
