Eugenie Bouchard’s coaching merry-go-round will take an-other turn after the Canadian announced she had split with Sam Sumyk following six months blighted by injury and a succession of early exits from tournaments.

The 21-year-old will be coached temporarily by Serbian Marko Dragic at the Roger’s Cup in Toronto as she seeks to re-bound from her first-round loss at Wimbledon.

Bouchard parted ways with long-time coach Nick Saviano in November, ending a partnership which saw her reach the semi-finals of three of the four grand slams during last year’s break-out season, including a maiden final appearance at Wimbledon.

But since a run to the quarter-finals at this year’s Australian Open, the former world number five’s ranking has slumped to 25 and she has been beaten in opening matches at eight tournaments, including the French Open.

Bouchard said she had no plans in place for a permanent coaching appointment.

“I’m looking for someone who can help me improve all areas of my game,” she said.
