‘Won’t Happen Overnight’: Andy Murray Reveals His Setbacks as He Looks for a Permanent Coach

At the 2019 Australian Open, with an emotional speech, Andy Murray announced that he would require a hip surgery and might not return to the Tour. However, he did make a comeback, but obviously, wasn’t performing at his pre-injury levels.  

3 years on, the former World No. 1 has been making strides in his recovery. Opening up on the matter, Murray recently revealed that he thinks it’s the lack of proper coaching that is holding him back. Recently, the Scottish player said that mixed messages from coaches are hindering his consistency. 

He is currently working with Venezuelan coach Dani Vallverdu. However, it is a temporary solution, as Dani will soon be returning to his full-time role with Swiss Stan Wawrinka.  

Andy Murray shares concerns about the lack of consistency in his career

Andy Murray is on the lookout for a permanent coach. After losing in the second round at the Rotterdam Open, Murray is expected to head to Doha. He currently has two coaches in his team, Dani Vallverdu and Colin Fleming. However, having 2 coaches feels more like a disadvantage to the Brit. 

The 2-time Wimbledon champion feels the mixed instructions are hampering his progress. He said, “I’m just trying to get a more permanent solution so that I can have consistency in terms of the things that I’m working on, because having different messages from people who are working with you each week is not ideal.”

Murray further talked about his loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime, saying that he doesn’t feel like he lost as he struggled to move. 

He added, “It probably won’t happen overnight because some of the mistakes that I’ve been making technically have been probably happening for 18 months or so, so it takes a bit of time to break those habits. I’ll need to put in a lot of work on them to change that.”

Do you think Murray will make further strides in his comeback this year? Could he make his way into the top 50?
