Can the new coach help Andy Murray reach the top spot?
What is going on?
Andy Murray, the number one Brit tennis ace recently announced his decision of parting ways from his coach, Miles Maclagan, soon after the tennis master Roger Federer decided to spend some time with Paul Annacone.
The question is that what is the importance of these apparently dissimilar actions by two of the sports’ most famous players?
Anyone who is following the game of tennis on regular basis can easily sense the reason behind these two decisions. Both of the players are actually preparing themselves up for the upcoming fourth and final Grand Slam of the season, the United States Open championship.
There is certainly no doubt about the fact that both Roger Federer as well as Andy Murray have not played as good as the current grass court Grand Slam champ, Rafael Nadal over the recent past. This year definitely belongs to the Spaniard tennis ace, Rafael Nadal without any measure of speculations.
Much has been talked about Federer’s decline as well as his poor performances for the past few months; therefore let us throw some light on the Brit tennis ace, Andy Murray with reference to his recent decision.
Back in 2007, Murray replaced Brad Gilbert and hired a new coach named Maclagan. Maclagan served as the coach of Andy Murray for a period of three years, until recently before being sacked by the Scottish player.
When asked about the reason behind this decision, Murray told the media that, he and Maclagan had serious conflicts of opinion with reference to the approach they were following in terms of Andy’s professional life and these differences started to aggravate over the recent past, as informed by Murray.
“It’s definitely not good. In fact, the truth of the reality is that it is actually destructive when the player and the coach hold different opinions on such sensitive issues’, Murray added.
The tennis fans however are still wondering over the fact that who actually gave up in this wacky situation?
Anyhow, the Scott has decided to team up with Alex Corretja until he hires a new coach; a person who will guide Murray and support him in his dreams of grabbing his very first Grand Slam title as well as reaching the number one spot in the world ATP rankings.
Andy is the only player of the top four who is yet to grab a major title as a Grand Slam Champ on the final day of the championship.
Anyhow, the number one Brit tennis ace is participating at the Farmers Classic held in the city of California as a result of wild card entry after Novak Djokovic refused to participate for some unrevealed reasons.
This is going to be Murray’s first tournament after the grass court Grand Slam event where he was knocked out by Rafael Nadal in the semi final round at the All England Club this season. Therefore, the tournament ended as just another failure for Murray who was earlier thrashed out by Roger Federer in the final match of the hard court 2010 Australian Open championship during the month of January.
However, it seems that the twenty three years old Murray is all set to go out on the courts and perform at his very best in order to become a prominent player that everyone believes Andy can be.
Therefore, we all wish that a new coach combined with a more serious attitude will help the Scott to reach the top spot soon.
Andy Murray while commenting on his new coach said that, “It is high time to go out and show the world how capable I am and a new coach is the first step towards the fulfilment of my top spot dream”.
