Andy Roddick has split from his coach Jimmy Connors by mutual agreement. “Jimmy resigned, probably about a week ago,” Roddick told reporters on Thursday after reaching the semi-final of the Dubai Championships.

He upset second seed Rafael Nadal 7-6, 6-2.

“We’re friends. I have so much respect for him as a person. I’m thankful for what he was able to give to me and the fact that he was able to take some time out for me.”
