Lleyton Hewitt has split with his coach of one year, adding Nathan Healey to a laundry list of one-time mentors to Australian who won the US Open nine years ago.
Bermuda-based Hewitt and "Heals" lasted for 12 months, with the player going into the US Open on his own. Hewitt's handlers said the split was amicable, with the coach calling it all off to spend more time with his young family in Australia.
The Hewitt camp said that nothing is likely to be decided before the start of 2011 season. Hewitt has also parted company over the years with Darren Cahill in 2001 and Jason Stoltenberg in 2003. He was also guided by Tony Roche, who also was not able to travel full-time.
Roger Rasheed coached the then-young gun who once ruled the ATP for four years, with an unpleasant split in January 2007 prior to the Australian Open.
Hewitt starts the Open on Monday as 32nd seed with a first-round match against Paul-Henri Mathieu.
