Milos Raonic has parted company with coach Carlos Moya at the end of a year which saw him reach a first Grand Slam final.

The big-hitting Canadian finished 2016 as the world's third best player, behind only Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, after teaming up with Spaniard Moya in January.

Raonic, who also had John McEnroe on his coaching team during the grasscourt season, made it to the final at Wimbledon, where he lost in three tough sets to Murray.

He went on to reach the last four of the ATP World Tour Finals in London earlier this month but Raonic confirmed on Wednesday he would be looking for a new coach for 2017.

"Thank you to Carlos Moya for helping me tremendously this year, alongside my team, to get the best out of me," Raonic wrote on Instagram.

"Under Carlos' direction and tutelage I have played my best yet to date. We will no longer be continuing our coaching relationship but remain close friends. I wish him all the best."
