After losing in his first round two weeks in a row to players that are not even in the top 100, Andy Murray took it upon himself to part ways with his coach Alex Corretja in a mutual agreement. There are rumors of Ivan Lendl stepping up to take his place.

Murray publicly gave Corretja thanks on his website saying, “I've had a really good relationship with Alex over the past three years.

If I make a change, it won't be because of how I've played, you know, the last two matches."

The former World No. 2, Alex Corretja said, "Helping Andy has been a great experience for me, he's got great talent and can be one of the best on any surface. I ...
