Andy Murray is calling Ivan Lendl again as coach, about four and a half years after their separation for the second time.
Murray’s manager announced that the 34-year-old Scotsman and Lendl had agreed to continue working together in the coming months.
Their collaboration has been crowned with three Grand Slam singles titles and two consecutive Olympic gold medals in 2012 and 2016 for Murray, the only tennis player with more than one title in the Summer Games single.
The two are now planning a weekly training camp in the United States after the Miami tournament, which ends on April 3.
As the tennis world moves to Europe for the season on clay courts in anticipation of his Roland Garros tournament from 22 May to 5 June, Murray will be preparing for the grass season. Wimbledon starts on June 27.
Murray also plans to hire another coach, who will work with Lendl and travel with him.
He is currently in 84th place and is 8-6 in 2022, losing his second game in each of the last four tournaments, including the Australian Open in January.
Murray has had to deal with a number of injuries in recent years, most notably serious hip problems that have led to two surgeries.
Murray enjoyed his greatest success on the field with Lendl – who won eight Grand Slam titles as a player – in his succession.
This includes, most famously, the 2013 Wimbledon title, which made Murray the first Briton in 77 years to win the All England Club Championship.
Prior to that, Lendl also coached Murray until his triumph at the US Open in 2012. They divorced in 2014, before reuniting in 2016, about a month before Murray won his second Wimbledon trophy.
Murray also climbed to No. 1 in the ATP rankings, while with Lendl he came there for the first time in November 2016.
They stopped working together again in November 2017.
Over the years, Murray has also been coached by Amélie Mauresmo, Brad Gilbert and Jamie Delgado, among others.
