Fresh off a semifinal loss to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, Andy Murray has found the coach who will be responsible to get him ready for Wimbledon.

As many expected, Murray officially hired Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach Sunday. BBC Sport first reported the move:

Nadal defeated Murray 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in a semifinal romp on Friday. The win gives Nadal an all-time 66-1 record at Roland Garros, including wins over Murray two of the last four years. Though obviously fr...
