Andy Murray Must Blame Himself, Not Coaches

Filed under: ATP

If I have it right, the way Andy Murray tells the story, he was spending too much time alone with Coach Brad Gilbert, making the relationship uncomfortable. So he fired Gilbert to take up a team of coaches.

Now, the team concept is uncomfortable, so he fired Miles Maclagan this week, and will begin looking for a new coach.

What does he look for now? Murray just keeps adding every day to the evidence that he's a head case.

He keeps firing coaches even though he now has tremendous fitness, footwork and stamina (thanks to Gilbert) and also athleticism, strokes, size, strength, intelligence and work ethic.

The problem with Andy Murray is not coming from the outside. It's the special thing missing between a great player and a champion. Murray hasn't found it yet, and might not even have it.

When Murray wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror, he doesn't see a champion. So he tries a new coach.Tony Schumacher Roger Federer Shaun White Snowboard
