Andy Murray looks for new coach after splitting with Amelie Mauresmo

The world number three announced his split from Amelie Mauresmo on Monday after almost two years together.

Both insisted the decision was mutual, with Mauresmo, who has a nine-month-old son, struggling to commit the amount of time to the partnership that Murray desired.

The timing appears far from ideal coming less than two weeks before the start of the French Open, which kicks off a hectic summer that also includes Wimbledon, a Davis Cup quarter-final, the defence of Murray’s Olympic title and the US Open.

Murray said: “Possibly at Queen’s I could try something out.

“I’m not going into a full-time relationship with a coach without having tested it and trialled it.

“I’ve done that with all of my coaches over the years and you do need a bit of time on the court together to see how the practice and the communication is going.”
