Andy Murray can’t be too dissatisfied with his 2015 season. The Brit has just managed to overtake yet again Roger Federer as World No.2 and has managed to put consistency in his verb in this season. Andy won his very first clay tournament in Munich, to then go even higher and conquer the Masters 1000 clay title in Madrid. Murray won also the Masters 1000 in Canada and won on grass again at Queen’s Club. A Grand Slam final and two semi-finals appearances complete the good looking picture.
Murray sent a clear response to those who doubted his collaboration with French former tennis star Amélie Mauresmo. Amelie seems to have found the key to have the 2013 Wimbledon champion more self centred, focused on every point, but most importantly he has given confidence back to the Brit’s game. Amélie has then enjoyed further success in life, but this time far off the tennis courts, giving birth to her first child.
Murray temporarily replaced Mauresmo’s sit with Jonas Bjorkman, but many wondered what was going to happen once Andy was going to be back in 2016. Will Amélie still be a part of Murray’s team?
The 2-time Slam champion has answered that question this week in Asia, confirming both Mauresmo and Bjorkman as his coaches for the 2016 season.
Murray revealed to have recently talked to Mauresmo about their collaboration:
“We spoke on the phone and it was a good conversation. We are going to meet at the end of the tournament in Shanghai to discuss further. Our phone call has been very positive and I think she wants to continue. She is engaged on two fronts, also being Fed Cup captain. If we are going to continue, we will get back together in the off season. Amélie will alternate with Bjorkman, and I won’t be having two coaches at the same time. I have done that in the past and it seems to have worked pretty well”.
Murray also talked about his participation at the ATP World Tour Finals in London. “If my back is going to feel well enough to compete on clay, then I will be at the O2 Arena” said the Brit.
