Tempting!

But this is pretty bad... it's not just that the domain's been left to expire but it went weeks past its expiration to allow for the redemption period to kick in. Generally domain hunters will see the redemption period as a signal that the owner wants to throw away the domain.

Is it not Murray's management team who are ment to see to these things, not very good PR. Someone need's a kick up the butt.

I emailed my contact in Andy's management yesterday about it, I hope that's not when they first realised

Ivan Lendl reveals unusual coaching schedule with Andy Murray  
  
Ivan Lendl has revealed for the first time his unusual coaching schedule with Andy Murray for the coming season. He will, for instance, not be with him the week before the French Open, choosing instead to prepare Murray's clay court game five weeks earlier in Monte Carlo.

"I'll be at the grand slams, obviously, but for me it's more important to see him play on certain surfaces in plenty of time before the big events so that we can work on things," Lendl said.

"If I worked with him in Rome on clay, that's only one week before the French and we're not going to be able to do anything. If I go with him to Monte Carlo then we have five weeks to work on stuff. If I see there is something that needs work or needs improving then we have time. It might be a little different to the usual system but that's never stopped me before."

Lendl said his golf, which he once considered pursuing as a second career, has improved since he started coaching Murray at the Australian Open in January.

Speaking after he beat Jimmy Arias 7-6, 6-2 on day one of the ATP Champions Tour tournament at Delray Beach in Florida, Lendl said: "My golf has improved since I started working with Andy. I've got a good system going where I come down here and stay overnight, then I get up early and get two hours of golf practice in before I hit with Andy at 10am. So my handicap has actually got a lot better recently!"

^^ Encouraging article.  Thanks.  Of course it makes sense to get things sorted out as far as possible before Slams start.  Nice to know it's enabled Lendl to improve his golf handicap.
  

I thought so too. A win win situation....let's hope!

I rarely look at Andy's website as not much seems to happen there - or am I missing something? (Probably yes, as I don't look!)

His facebook page has just reached 498,000 likes, up 50,000 since the beginning of the year, and still rising by about 1,000 per day. I enjoy looking at this - some quirky updates, which sometimes inspire some amusing responses.

That's great to see his facebook likes increase so much

His official website is awful - takes ages to load, the flash content isn't compatible with all mobile devices and some of the links don't even work properly. The previous version was much better and had some interesting training footage on it from time to time.

I didn't find it slow and had no difficulty with loading it, there was some interesting info on it eg Andy's Aussie Open blogs.

Andys official site is absolutely dreadful... Looks nice but content is atrocious...who ever runs it should be ashamed.
