Murray looking to add to coaching team

A reshuffle at the end of the season saw Murray part company with assistant coach Dani Vallverdu, who has since started working with Tomas Berdych.

Murray, who kicked off his season at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi ahead of the Hopman Cup in Perth, has confirmed he is still looking to appoint someone to complement Mauresmo, who is only working with him part-time.

“[Dani] was doing about 40 weeks a year with me, Amelie is doing 25 weeks a year,” said Murray. “So there’s obviously some weeks there where I’m going to need some more help and some more guidance, and it’s about finding the right person for me. Amelie suggested Loic who she obviously worked with when she was playing and felt that he was a very good coach for her.

"My feeling is that having someone that’s based in Miami or London, where I live, for the weeks when I come back from tournaments, so I have someone there all of the time, would be more beneficial for me. But I haven’t spoken to Loic, but I’m sure Amelie has spoken to him.”
