It was almost 1 year ago when Murray announced that Lendl would have been his news coach.
It looked a bit quirky, but it seemed he could work and actually… it did! Before winning his 8 slams, Lendl failed in 4 finals, so he was quite familiar with Murray’s situation.
After a not so good start where Murray wasn’t really getting into Lendl’s groove, something changed and it changed in Wimbledon where coming out from a ferocious draw, Andy was inches away from winning his first major.
Then Andy won the Olympics and the US Open, and now he wants more…
Good Relationship
Murray said “Ivan and I have a very good relationship, it’s very honest and open, that’s why it has worked so well and why both of us are planning long term.
“We spoke at the end of last year and it was much more short term, such as ‘let’s see how the first few months of the season go’.
The Olympic Boost
Then Andy added “Since the Olympics I just feel a bit better about myself. I find it easier to walk around with my head up, whereas before I was always head down, not wanting anyone to see me or say anything.
“Maybe I felt that having lost in Grand Slam finals I was letting whoever it was down.
“I had been reminded every day for the last six years that it’s this long since someone from our country won a slam!”
Other 5 years?
Finally Murray said that real question is…”Now it’s, ‘What are we going to be doing in four or five years’ time?”
Everybody is advised… this two are dangerous … 😉
