Lleyton Hewitt's coach Roger Rasheed has quit his role with Australia's No.1 tennis player.

Rasheed made his decision known via a statement on Friday night, saying: "This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make, but one I felt I had no choice but to make.

"Within the current environment, I don't believe it is possible for us to get the results we are looking for.

"The timing is not ideal, but I feel that it is in both of our best interests that this decision not be delayed."

Rasheed and his partner recently became parents, but he said that had not played a part in his decision.

He also added he would be very happy to coach another player.
