Murray ends two-year partnership with Lendl

Andy Murray believes the success of his two-year partnership with coach Ivan Lendl will stand him in good stead for more Grand Slam success in the future after announcing the end of their partnership by mutual consent.

The British number one made the surprise announcement yesterday and will now consider his options with regard to the possible naming of Lendl’s successor.

Murray’s link with eight-time major winner Lendl corresponded with the start of the best period of his career, winning an Olympic gold medal in London before breaking his own Grand Slam duck at the 2012 US Open.
