Andy Murray has split from his coach Amelie Mauresmo after two years.
The Scot, 28, said he had "learnt a lot" from the 36-year-old Frenchwoman but they had "mutually agreed" to end their partnership.
Murray, the world No.3, began working with the twice grand slam champion Mauresmo in June 2014 and has won seven titles – including his first two on clay – in that time, but has failed to add to his two majors.
Mauresmo said: "Dedicating enough time along with the travel has been a challenge."
In a joint statement, Murray added: "She's been a calming influence in the team and we will all miss having her around.
"I'll take some time to consider the next steps and how we progress from here, but I'd like to thank her for everything she has done. She's been an invaluable member of the team."
Mauresmo added: "Working with Andy over the last two years has been a fantastic experience for me.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed being part of the great team of people he has around him. I wish him and the team well and I hope he goes on to win many more titles."
Murray, who lost his No.2 ranking to Roger Federer after his defeat by Novak Djokovic in the Madrid Open final on Sunday – was previously coached by former world No.1 Ivan Lendl, under whom he won the 2012 US Open and 2013 Wimbledon.
