Andy Murray to reunite with longtime coach Ivan Lendl, eyes Wimbledon peak

WATCH: Murray has been in search of a full-time coach since splitting with Jamie Delgado last year.

Andy Murray is set to reunite with longtime coach and fellow former world No. 1 Ivan Lendl this spring.

An eight-time major champion throughout the 80s and early 90s, Lendl was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2001. Murray and Lendl first worked together from 2011 to 2014, during which time the Brit won his first two major titles and Olympic gold at the 2012 London Olympics. Following a two-year hiatus—and a coaching partnership between Murray and former WTA world No. 1 Amélie Mauresmo—the pair reunited in 2016.

Murray went on to win a second Olympic gold medal in Rio de Janeiro, a second Wimbledon crown, and become world No. 1 for the first time, ending the season with a whopping 78-9 record and a first ATP Finals victory in London.

The two haven’t worked together since 2017 when the 34-year-old began to struggle with a protracted hip injury, one that ultimately required surgery and a resurfacing. Unsure of whether to retire, Murray continued his career alongside Jamie Delgado, with whom he split in 2021. He briefly worked with coach Jan De Witt, but opted against extending their coaching trial back in February. In the meantime, he partnered with Daniel Vallverdu, but only until Vallverdu’s main charge Stan Wawrinka returns to action later this season.

Murray is reported to begin working with Lendl as soon as the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells—albeit on a remote basis—and begin in-person training during or following the Miami Open, where the Czech-born American is based.

Set to sit out the clay-court swing, Murray is aiming to peak in time for the Wimbledon Championships.
