Andy Murray brought back former top player Ivan Lendl to coach him this year, after his split from former women’s Number One Amelie Mauresmo. It was with the French ace that Murray saw perhaps his best form, and Lendl, unlike Mauresmo in her time, is not a traveling coach – meaning that he does not accompany Murray from tournament to tournament.

Lendl’s training methods are also said to be tough, with Andy Murray, prone to losing his temper, stoked by the issue. The two have not had as much time as they would have liked together on the tour, with Murray’s coach Jamie Delgado moving with him from tournament to tournament.

They split once before owing to differences – it is quite possible that those differences could well be cropping up once again.
