• Murray to go coach-less at US Open

  8/17/10 5:46 PM | Johan Lindahl
  Early Toronto title success on hardcourt may have convinced Andy Murray to go it alone, with the Scot advising that he will play the US Open without a coach.
  
  The world No. 4 beat Roger Federer for the Canadian trophy at the weekend and sent a message to the elite that he's hoping to gate-crash after beating both No. 2 Federer and No. 1 Rafael Nadal during the same week - only the fifth man to accomplish that on the ATP.
  
  The confident Murray has such belief in his current abilities that rushing into the choice of a new coach would be unwise: "I'm sure after the US Open I'll look hard at the type of person I would like to work with," he told BBC Scotland. "But I can't see myself making any changes before the US Open."
  
  Murray split last month from his dream team coaching committees of fellow Scot Miles MacLagan and Spain's Alex Corretja, citing various difference in philosophy. Just over a week later, he reached the final at Los Angeles and lost after holding a match point against Sam Querrey.
  
  Murray's first season triumph in Toronto as he backed up his Canadian title cemented his idea of making a methodical coaching search instead of a rush job. "I said at the start that I would like to have a coach, I think most players would like to have a coach.
  
  "But I want to have the right person working with me and have the structure and set-up I would like. I'm not going to rush into anything."
  
  Murray is aiming to continue his progress to the US Open as he plays in Cincinnati, last major tune-up prior to the Grand Slam starting August 30.
