British number one Jack Draper has split with his coach Wayne Ferreira ahead of the US Open.
Draper, seeded 25th ahead of the final grand slam of the year, appointed the South African to work alongside James Trotman in April and achieved success under his tutelage, winning a first ATP Tour title in June.
But Draper said things were complicated so has reverted to Trotman being the lone voice with the New York tournament kicking off on Monday.
“Wayne coming on board was really a good decision. It was decision based on his value as a coach and obviously his experience as a player,” he said.
“I’ve always been someone who likes to keep things simple. And I’d never had that kind of team dynamic before, where I’ve got two different voices and two different coaches.
“I always wanted Trots to be the one leading what I was doing.
“I just felt like it was not as simple as I liked, and I wanted one voice in my team.
“I feel like it was the right thing to probably part ways with Wayne and keep it how I want it as a player.
“So that being said my time with Wayne was amazing. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve sort of got a lot of value from him.
“I think he’s an amazing guy, and someone who, you know, will continue to be a friend.”
