France’s Gael Monfils has ended his three-year stint with Australian coach Roger Rasheed. The two had worked together since July, 2008 under a three-year contract, which apparently neither side wanted to renew. Under Rasheed, the 24-year-old Frenchman became a top-10 player, reached the semifinals of the 2010 U.S. Open and the quarterfinals of Roland Garros last month.
"We decided to stop our collaboration by mutual agreement," Monfils told reporters after France’s victory over Germany in the Davis Cup quarterfinals. "We had reached the end of a great story. I owe him a lot, I learned a lot with him. It went very well. We talked, we had a good discussion. We're still very good friends."
