Roger Rasheed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger Rasheed (born March 10, 1969) is an Australian sportsman and tennis coach of Lebanese descent. He is perhaps best known as the coach of tennis player Lleyton Hewitt from June 2003 until January 2007.

Born in Adelaide, Rasheed played Australian rules football, including 7 games in the SANFL with Sturt. As a tennis player, he reached a peak of 192 in ATP rankings in 1992. He became the youngest player to qualify for an Australian Open, which was a record eclipsed in 1997 by Hewitt.

Rasheed quit as Hewitt's coach on 5 January, 2007, announcing his decision after Hewitt lost in in the Adelaide International and just a week before the Australian Open.

Rasheed is now a commentator on Channel Seven, where his hair piece is quite evident. [1]
