Three-time Wimbledon champion John McEnroe has advised Rafael Nadal to 'get a new damn coach' after his second round exit at the hands of German qualifier Dustin Brown in the Championships.

The 14-time Grand Slam champion continued his struggles with form as he was given an early exit for the fourth time in a row by the 102 ranked player.

McEnroe said the Spaniard should drop his long-term coach, uncle Toni Nadal after his second-round exit, the BBC reported.

He added that may be the time has come where Nadal needed some fresh blood in his camp.

Nadal, who lifted the title on Centre Court in 2008 and 2010, has not been able to make a progress past the fourth round after losing to world number one Novak Djokovic in the 2011 final.
