Ex-Andy Murray coach Miles Maglagan, sacked last month by his fellow Scot, doesn't hold a grudge as he tips his former boss to finally win his first career major at the US Open.
"He will be fine on his own for a little bit," Maclagan told Britain's Sky television. "He is driven and motivated and will have some ideas of his own that he would like to work on without someone in his ear."
Murray has been on his own over the hardcourt summer in North America, reaching the Los Angeles final, winning Toronto and going out last week in the Cincinnati quarters. He still has his physio and fitness trainer plus his mum Judy onside.
"A big part of the coach's role is to make sure that practice is at the right intensity and if he can manage that then he will be fine," said Maclagan, 35, and currently seeking fresh coaching employment.
Murray has always called the New York event his favourite Grand Slam, free from much of the immense pressure he feels annually at Wimbledon.
"He is ready to win no question," said Maclagan. "I watched him win in Toronto and he played well and is doing a lot of things right. He never wants to lose but losing early in Cincinnati could be a blessing. Last year he did well at both tournaments and was tired starting the US.
"Those extra couple of days of rest will help. He is playing well and can win it."

Murray is THE favourite to win this USO, no question about it. Then we have Nadal and Roger.
And hey, watch out with Nalbandian... he will cause some upsets over there.

most likely Murray will land in Nadal's half.

These guys say this stuff every tournament for the last 3 years. Murray is always the favorite. I think he should stop smoking and put the pipe down.
