Andy Murray and his long-time coach, Ivan Lendl, have decided to part ways for the third time in their storied coaching relationship. The duo first joined forces in 2011, creating a coaching journey marked by highs and intermittent separations. After a successful collaboration in the early years, they initially parted ways in 2014, only to reunite in 2016, a year that saw Murray claim his second Wimbledon title.
Their second separation occurred in 2017, but the coaching partnership was rekindled once more in 2022. Murray’s existing coaching team, comprised of Mark Hilton and Jonny O’Mara, will remain unchanged despite the latest split with Lendl.
Reflecting on their collaboration, Murray expressed gratitude for Lendl’s contribution to his career, stating, “Ivan has been by my side at the biggest moments in my career, and I can’t thank him enough for all that he’s helped me achieve.” Murray acknowledged Lendl’s unique coaching approach, emphasizing the significant impact their partnership had on his growth as a player.
As Murray navigates this coaching transition, tennis enthusiasts are left to ponder the intricacies of this professional relationship and its enduring impact on the former world No. 1’s future endeavors.
