Andy Murray isn't keeping former French Open finalist Alex Corretja
on his coaching team just for the Spaniard's fabled expertise on
clay.
In fact, with the 2009 dirt season now a memory, Corretja is
playing a big role on Team Murray as the world No. 2 heads into the
US Open.
Corretja has been working as a specialist with Murray's rotation of
coaches during the spring on European clay. But in the heat of the
hard courts, Corretja is also on side.
"I've got Alex working with me because it's sometimes nice to have
just fresh ideas for practise and for training," said the Scot who
claimed his fourth career Masters 100 crown with a defeat of Juan
Del Potro in Montreal.
"Alex and (main coach) Miles Maclagen get on really, really well,
so it's a good sort of combination. It's not like I employed Alex to
do something that Miles can't.
"The season is very, very long, you play a lot of matches. In
between the tournaments you've got to make sure you're motivated for
the practise and for the training.
"Sometimes having a different face, different input, maybe a few
different views on things helps. There's not just one thing in
particular."
Team Murray guided their man to his best career showing at the
French Open in June, with Murray reaching the quarter-finals where
he lost to Chilean Fernando Gonzalez.
