Even as he searches for a coach after going for nine months with out one, the man Andy Murray sacked as his mentor still has faith in his former pupil.
"He's a very dedicated athlete," fellow Scot Miles MacLagan told Britain's Sky Sports. "You don't see him falling out of nightclubs with a different woman every night. He trains very hard - he's not perfect all the time, he has his moments, but unfortunately they are there for the whole world to see."
Murray and MacLagan parted company last summer after Wimbledon, with the world No. 4 working since then on his own with his usual band of travelling advisors. He then split with Spanish consultant and former player Alex Corretja this spring and is now using staff coaches from his clothing company adidas as a temporary fix.
MacLagan was picked up after leaving the Murray camp by German No. 1 Philip Kohlschreiber, ranked 41st.
MacLagan believes that Murray will eventually need to find a coach of his own. "For him the important thing is to have a structure in place. People need to know who is in charge of what aspect, and which channel information is going through."
After losing the Australian Open final and his three following matches, Murray began turning his season around by reaching the Monte Carlo semi-finals, where he lost with an elbow injury to Rafael Nadal. He then withdrew from Barcelona but is listed to play the upcoming Madrid Masters.
