Andy Murray Ends Partnership with Coach Ivan Lendl for the Third Time, Continues with Mark Hilton and Jonny O'Mara Ahead of 2024 Season

End of an era: Frustrating 2023 season declared as reason for parting ways; Murray appreciates Lendl's contribution to his career but seeks fresh coaching outlook to revive his gameplay.

Andy Murray ends his partnership with long-time coach and mentor Ivan Lendl for the third and presumably last time. Over the years, Lendl has helped Murray win his Grand Slam titles including the US Open and Wimbledon.
Murray cited his frustrating 2023 season, full of near-misses and might-have-beens, as one of the reasons for the split. He believes he needs to ramp up the volume of his training, something Lendl was less inclined to do due to his partiality to Florida and hatred for travel.
Lendl's coaching led to a more aggressive tactical approach from Murray, a quality Murray acknowledges but now feels the need for more than just a morale boost. Despite having climbed rankings since his hip implantation, his process appears stalled, his current No. 42 position is only seven places higher than where he started the season.
Murray will continue working with Mark Hilton and Jonny O'Mara. There is a speculation on hiring the experienced Canadian Louis Cayer during the off-season, who has had a noteworthy effect on Murray's service action and is seen as a man of technical insight.
Murray's decision to part ways is seen as a necessary change as he believes in his capability to play elite tennis, given the right preparation. Despite the challenges faced, he remains optimistic about bouncing back strongly in the 2024 season.
