Andy Murray will soon be able to take full advantage of the knowledge of new mentor Ivan Lendl, with outsiders wondering how long the partnerships between two volatile and headstrong personalities will actually last.
Eight-time Grand Slam winner Lendl will try to help No. 4 Murray to his first major, starting with the Australian Open at mid-month where the Scot lost finals in 2010 and 2011.
If the script is followed, Murray will still be alive as top seed at the Brisbane ATP event where he started the season this week. "Andy looks extremely fit," said US-based Lendl. "To me, this is like Groundhog Day.
"I've been in this movie. I was that player once, who needed something to help make it work, it was the same as I was before I hired Tony Roche. What happened then changed my career around.
"What excites me about this partnership? More than anything, it is simply that this is absolutely the best match-up. Everything has begun to fall into place already."
Murray is known around the traps as something of a hothead and is unworried about abusing his travelling circus team of helpers and advisors. The betting is that the behaviour will have to stop once the dour Lendl comes onto the scene.
"All that will be said to Andy on that subject will be said by me to him and to nobody else," said the Czech-born advisor. "I know that we will get along very well. He wants to do well, he is willing to work hard and strive to do what it takes."
