Andy Murray has split from coach Ivan Lendl for a third time.<\/p>\n
Murray won all three of his grand slam titles in his first two spells with the former world number one and they reunited again last March.<\/p>\n
But, although the Scot regained his place in the top 50 after years of battling to overcome hip problems, he has not achieved the results he wanted, particularly at the biggest tournaments.<\/p>\n
\u201cIvan has been by my side at the biggest moments in my career and I can\u2019t thank him enough for all that he\u2019s helped me achieve,\u201d said Murray.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a unique character who understands what it takes to win and I\u2019ve learnt an awful lot over the years from him.\u201d<\/p>\n
An issue throughout their partnership has been Lendl\u2019s reluctance to travel from his home in the US, and that has been particularly acute this year.<\/p>\n
Murray will continue to work with Mark Hilton and Jonny O\u2019Mara, who have both been much more frequent presences courtside than Lendl in recent months.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will look back with some great memories of the time Andy and I worked together,\u201d said eight-time grand slam champion Lendl.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s as hard a worker as there is and the sport is better because of him.\u00a0 I wish him only the best in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murray cut a downbeat figure after his latest loss to Australian Alex De Minaur in Paris last week having held a dominant lead and admitted he is not enjoying playing at the moment.<\/p>\n
But he is set to be part of Britain\u2019s Davis Cup team for their quarter-final against Serbia in Malaga later this month and it was announced earlier on Friday that he will begin next season at the Brisbane International.<\/p>\n
