The Guardian UK reports that Andy Murray will use the next month to start talking seriously about who his next coach will be.
>>>How about Martina Navratilova as Andy Murray's New Coach?<<<
Murray, who will not play again until the Madrid Open in early May, was speaking to reporters at a launching for the Aegon Championships at the Queen's Club in London:
"I'll definitely look at it over the next couple of weeks. I don't plan on playing much for the next week because I haven't had much time off this year. Once you make a decision on who it is you want to approach, they need to be up for doing it and the amount of time it requires.
"I haven't spoken to any coaches yet, I haven't written down a list of people, but I've thought a little bit about it and we'll see what happens in the next few weeks. I'm sitting down with all the guys I work with tomorrow just to chat about things. I haven't wanted to talk about it or discuss it yet because it can be distracting."
Murray, who is still working his way back into tip-top shape following the back surgery that derailed him in September of last year, can also look forward to a month-long training block to work out any issues that still remain with his physical fitness.
“Then I had the surgery and that knocked me back physically. The last three months have been trying to build that up again, test my back out as much as possible. I think I'm getting close to where I need to be to come into this period of the year competing in the biggest events."
Murray tells the Guardian that Davis Cup has changed his schedule plans a bit:
"I was possibly going to play the week before Madrid but, with Davis Cup, I think it was going to be too much. I've played a lot of tennis this year. I haven't been able to do loads of training. If I want to go far over the French Open and Wimbledon period, the seven five-set matches, you need to be in good shape physically and this will be a good time to build it up and also to work on some things."
