Delgado worked with Murray for five seasons, including 2016, the year he won his last Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. Murray just completed a trial with coach Esteban Carril, but will not work with him in 2022.De Witt, who recently trained with Murray for a few days in Roehampton, will travel with Murray to the Mubadala World Championships in Abu Dhabi next week.Murray is currently ranked 134 and has just completed a promising season that was also a struggle in many ways. He went 15-14, and earned two Top-10 wins in his final three events of the season, but he has not ranked inside the Top-100 since June of 2018, and he did not reach a single semifinal at tour-level in 2021.It has also been revealed that Delgado will begin working with 22-year-old Denis Shapovalov’s team. ]]>
