British tennis star Andy Murray has parted company with coaching consultant Alex Corretja as he seeks to halt a form slump stretching back to January, it was confirmed Tuesday.
World number five Murray said he had agreed a mutual split with former Spanish professional Corretja, who he regarded as a friend and mentor.
Corretja has been part of Murray's coaching team since April 2008, offering specialist advice on the Scot's clay-court season, where he has struggled to emulate his success on other surfaces.
"I've had a really good relationship with Alex over the past three years. I have learned so much from being around him and I want to thank him for his hard work, enthusiasm, dedication and support," Murray said.
"He has been a great friend as well as a mentor to me and we've shared lots of success and good times both on and off the court."
Corretja meanwhile offered Murray support in future.
