Ivan Lendl: The Man Who Made Murray

 

Originally published on 03/06/14

In just over two years working with Andy Murray, Ivan Lendl helped turn the Scot into a two-time Grand Slam champion.

When Murray announced in March that he had parted company with Lendl the news was met with as many raised eyebrows as when he appointed the eight-time major champion in December 2011.

Like Murray, Lendl lost his first four major finals but went on to become world No.1 and win eight Grand Slams, but he had no experience of coaching.

In Ivan Lendl: The Man Who Made Murray, Mark Hodgkinson, author of Andy Murray Wimbledon Champion, investigates how Lendl turned Murray from a perennial runner-up into US Open champion and the first Briton to lift the Wimbledon trophy in 77 years, offering an insight into the relationship, and how it came to an end.
