Andy Murray says there are no problems between him and his coach, Amelie Mauresmo, refuting speculation that followed after Mauresmo didn’t sit in Murray's box during his matches in Miami.
Murray, who fell in the third round to Grigor Dimitrov, said he and Mauresmo have not had a conflict.
"Then Amelie wouldn't be here at the tournament,” he told British press members in Key Biscayne. “We had dinner with all our families last night, so we certainly haven't.”
While other members of Murray's team—including his physio, assistant coach Jamie Delgado and his wife, Kim Sears—were in Murray's box, Mauresmo sat slightly away from the others in another section of the stands.
Murray, who is known for frequently directing angry comments at his box during matches, said he did the same thing with his team at the ATP World Tour Finals.
"I've just been trying to find different ways to improve my focus on the court," he said. "I also did the same thing at The O2 Arena as well, so I'm trying to find different ways to improve, and that's something I've tested to see if that might help.
"It's one of those things that when I win, no one says anything about it. And then when I lose, that's an excuse. I don't think that is the reason for me hitting 50 unforced errors in this match, in my opinion."
Murray was up a break in the third set against Dimitrov. The world No. 2 was coming off a third-round exit in Indian Wells, where he had also taken a third-set lead before allowing Federico Delbonis to get the upper hand.
"Just when you get into a winning position, you need to put your foot down," Murray said in his press conference. "I made many more mistakes than usual, especially in the third set, so that was surprising to me."
