Murray speaks out over split « on: November 21, 2007, 11:21:25 AM »

Andy Murray has for the first time spoken publicly about his split with star tennis coach Brad Gilbert.

The Scot told the Sun that he didn't like being told what to do and wanted more control. He also revealed that he was already thinking of splitting with Gilbert a couple of months before the announcement.

It was kind of difficult — although not the most difficult decision I have had to make.

But it was something I wanted to do. A couple of months before, I started to think about things and knew I wanted more control.

I wanted to have a bigger say and wanted to pay for everything.

Everything is now up to me as I make the decisions. Yes, it’s more responsibility but I’ll enjoy that.
Murray said that he is in "no hurry" to get a new coach and for the moment has recruited Matty Little and Jez Green to his entourage.

Looks like Murray doesn't like being told what to do but that's the whole point of a coach.

The strain starts to show

someone who talks' at you ',even if its good advice,all the time can be very difficult to cope with day in day out, week in week out.Andy has to be happy and feel good or he will not play well.

I think the mistake of the LTA was to make the contract for as long as three years. Eighteen months with an option to continue if things were working well would have been better. The intense father/schoolmaster type relationship may work fine for a teenager but not so well once the player matures and becomes a man, which he has to do quickly in orderto cope with the lifestyle of a top player.
