McEnroe snaps coaching ties with Raonic

New York: US tennis legend John McEnroe on Saturday called a halt to his coaching work with Milos Raonic, claiming “it will make life easier” despite helping the Canadian to the Wimbledon final last month.

McEnroe made his announcement just two days out from the start of the US Open, the season’s final Grand Slam event where world number six Raonic is ranked as a potential title winner.

Raonic, defeated by Andy Murray in the Wimbledon final, only started working with McEnroe for the grass court season but the two men then decided to extend their agreement.
