Andy Murray appoints Amélie Mauresmo as new coach

Andy Murray will team up with former women's world number one Amélie Mauresmo for the grass court season. 

Mauresmo currently serves as France's Fed Cup captain. Murray, the defending Wimbledon champion, was without a coach when he and Ivan Lendl parted ways in March. 

"I'm excited by the possibilities of the new partnership and Amelie is someone I have always looked up to and admired," Murray said, in an official press release on his website.

“I’m really excited to be able to work with Andy," Mauresmo said. 

"He’s an amazingly talented tennis player and I feel I have plenty to offer both him and the team around him.  I’m looking forward to getting down to work and helping him win more Grand Slams.”
