Britain's Andy Murray will attempt to lift his game on clay by employing former French Open finalist Alex Corretja as a part-time coach.
The 33-year-old Spaniard lost Paris finals twice (1998, 2001) and once stood second in the world. Murray, who has been guided by a roving consortium of advisors since splitting with American Brad Gilbert, will hope to glean some clay finesse during the spring campaign.
Murray will test the arrangement as he plays on the dirt for the first time in a year a Valencia from April 14.
“It's great for me to be able to work with a clay-court specialist like Alex. He had a fantastic career and I am looking forward to learning from his experiences,” said Murray.
Alex Corretja, who now works with Spanish television, added: “I've watched Andy play several times over the last couple of years and in particular his close match against Nadal in Madrid in October.
”He has tremendous potential to play well on all surfaces.“
Corretja quit the ATP in 2005, winning 17 titles.
Murray's clay seasons have been hit-or-miss, with the Scot suffering a wrist injury last May which forced him from both Paris and Wimbledon. He has won just two clay maches at the ATP level, both last spring.
