Andy Murray has outlined the criteria by which he will select a new coach, insisting he needs a man who will understand him and 'back off' at the right times.
Murray recently split from former coach Miles Maclagan, and it has since become public knowledge that the pair were pulling in different directions over how to advance the British No. 1's game. Maclagan also hinted at a disagreement with other members of Murray's backroom staff.
Like Murray, Roger Federer also has an unsettled support network at present, but the Swiss revealed on Tuesday that he likes a coach who offers plenty of opinion. "I like that actually the coach does have a lot of say, a lot of input," said Federer, who recently acquired the services of Paul Annacone. "I never have arguments with my coaches because I like them to criticise me. I need that to become a better player."
Murray appears to have a different view of what a coach should be, claiming he needs a psychologist-like character who will know when to give the world No. 4 space.
"It's a huge decision to employ a coach for 30, 35 weeks a year," Murray said. "If that means spending three or four months without a coach then that's fine. I would rather be doing my own thing than rushing into getting a coach, and seven, eight months [later] having to find someone different.
"It's really important for a coach to be calm, someone that understands people well, that can adjust to different personalities. It can be easy if you've had success with one player to sort of think 'OK, move on to the next one and do the same sort of things with them'. But I think being calm and versatile are probably the two most important things.
"The player, I think, is the most important. When you're out on the court, they can't help you. But the coach has to be there to deal with you in the tough moments. The coach has to know how to deal with situations when you're deep in Grand Slam events and in the build-up to them.
"You might need to be talked to more sometimes, [but it's] knowing when to back off a little bit and just to let things go."
========================================
Back to profit for the system again to get the balance at £204.35. Hopefully there are lot's of selections today but upon first glance there are a decent handful that probably won't qualify. This happens at times but if I get some more profit then great.
