Andy Murray in surge of finding a new coach – Tennis News
British number one, Andy Murray, is pro-active these days to find a reliably coach for long term. While chatting to a local news reporter, the Scott has confirmed that he wants a dedicated coach who is willing to go a long way
with him in the future.
Following a short tenure with coach Alex Corretja of Spain, the Briton joined forces temporarily with Andre Agassi’s former trainer, Darren Cahill. However, it is anticipated that Murray and Cahill may enter into a permanent deal
in the near future to go on together much longer. The world number four was much concerned about finding a determined coach which can serve him for at least for 20 to 25 weeks, rather than just 10 weeks.
“I’m definitely pro-active but I want to find the right person to do it. You can’t bring someone in, for example, for just the grand slams. I’m not going to get someone who only wants to do it for 10 weeks when I need them for
25 weeks,” said Murray. “That would be a complete waste of time and you’d get nothing done. This kind of thing would change the dynamic of the team. I’m definitely looking to find someone but I want them for 20-25 weeks of the year”
Murray has been in prime form this season and broke into the Top-3 of the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) World Rankings in mid October this year. The Briton’s 2011 season has been a tale of continuous improvement throughout,
as he finished the year with 56-13 winning record and five ATP championship titles to his name.
Murray made it to the season ending finale, the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, in London, as the third seed but didn’t come up to the expectations of his home crowd. The 24-year-old dropped his opening round match to the fifth
seed David Ferrer of Spain, followed by a serious groin injury, which forced him to pull out of the mega event in agony.
The current world number four went to London with a hat-trick of ATP titles on his back, registering convincing wins in Bangkok, Tokyo and Shanghai, but his disappointing finish to the circuit finale gave an open door to Roger
Federer to reclaim the world number three spot from him. Murray is up for an astounding start at the 2012 ATP season and believes that a committed coach on his back will help him a great deal have a good start in the next year.
