Canadian Milos Raonic names former Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek new coach

Dec 19, 2016 | 9:30 PM

Canadian Milos Raonic officially made Richard Krajicek his new coach on Monday.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., was looking for a new coach after parting ways with Spain’s Carlos Moya earlier in December.

Krajicek, who won his only Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 1996, played a very similar style to Raonic, relying on his big serve throughout his career.

Raonic finished the ATP season ranked third worldwide, the highest a Canadian singles tennis player has ever been rated.

That career-best year included a semifinal appearance at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals, where he fell to eventual champion Andy Murray. Raonic also reached his first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon.
