Speaking about his new coach, Murray said, “I’ve had some good results over the last couple of years, but the consistency of them has been poor. I think that’s because the level of the tennis that I’ve been playing is not that high. I trust a lot of what Ivan says. We obviously had excellent results together in the past.”
