While they had separated at the end of the 2017 season, Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl officially become a player-coach duo again at the start of this spring 2022. The Scot announced it on Friday. It was with Lendl that Andy Murray won his three Grand Slam titles (US Open 2012, Wimbledon 2013 and 2016); it is also with the ex-theca champion that he became world number one in 2016. The two men have already experienced two periods of collaboration, from 2012 to 2014 and then in 2016-2017. The two most auspicious periods of Murray’s career.
The third will start at the end of March, in the United States, just after the American spring tour on hard (Indian Wells, Miami). As Murray, 34, has already announced that he will skip the clay court season, in order to preserve his patched up hip, it will be for the reconstituted duo to focus on preparing for the game on grass, objective priority of the Scotsman, winner of Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016. A sort of last run full of panache seems to be in store for the greatest British player since Fred Perry.
