Andy Murray was thinking of hiring Brad Gilbert as his new coach and was in the middle of their first meeting, at this year's French Open in Paris, when the American asked him to take off his shirt, so that he could get a better idea of his physique.
For most people I wouldn't have done that, but because it was him I took it off. That was what I liked. He has very strong opinions. And when you get two people together like me and him with very strong opinions, you either get on or it blows up.
He didn't really listen much, but that was another of the things I quite liked. I felt I needed someone who could tell me what to do.
In the five months since he started working with Andre Agassi's former coach, Murray has climbed from No 35 to No 17 in the world.
