<\/p>\n

Andy Murray has split with his coach Ivan Lendl for a third and final time. The Scot won all his three Major titles and two Olympic gold medals working with the Czech-born American.<\/p>\n

They stopped working together for a second time in 2017 as Murray started to suffer with hip problems but re-united for a third time in March last year.<\/p>\n

But seeking a final tilt at a Grand Slam title, the Scot has been unable to get beyond the third round of a Major with his metal hip and remains at world No.42.<\/p>\n

Lendl, now 63, is increasingly unwilling to travel and Murray, 36, wants a long winter training block before his potential final season.<\/p>\n

Mark Hilton and Jonny O\u2019Mara will now share the coaching duties for the Scot.<\/p>\n

Murray said: \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.\u00a0 He\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

Murray and Lendl first started working together at the end of 2011 and after the Scot lost the 2012 Wimbledon final – his fourth Grand Slam final defeat – he bounced back to win the London Olympics and the US Open.<\/p>\n

Murray won his first Wimbledon in 2013 before a first split in 2014. Reunited in 2016, he enjoyed a remarkable year where he won a second Wimbledon and Olympic gold before finishing the year as world No.1 for the first time.<\/p>\n
