Former great Mats Wilander has said he will not be part of the coaching future for Andy Murray, with the Swede comfortably settled into a television career with Eurosport and already travelling the world working in the game – perhaps at a much lower stress level.

No. 8 Murray, who split with Wilander’s 1980s rival Ivan Lendl last month, has set himself a deadline of the start of the French Open in late May to have a new mentor in place. But Wilander, who turns 50 in August, said he cannot be considered on the Murray short-list.

Wilander told BBC television that what the Scot needs now might not be a former grand slam winner onside while adding that the time with Lendl might have worked well because the player was almost certainly trying to impress the former champion.

But he added: “You could do that with a technical coach that helps you with certain aspects of your game. Then you become a better player, and then you bring your own intensity levels to win matches.

“I don’t necessarily think Andy needs to be thinking about former grand slam champions. But I think he needs to be thinking about somebody who has a much better second serve than I do, who knows about second serves, maybe to work with this person for six months, or on and off.

“He also needs to be looking at himself in the mirror and saying, ‘do I really think winning tennis matches is more important now than before I won my first grand slam?’ If it isn’t, then it is to other players, and then you’re in trouble.”

Murray next date on court is the weekend Davis Cup quarter-finals against Italy in Naples, On the captain’s bench will be one of his first childhood coaches from Scotland, Leon Smith.
