Andy Murray has been without a coach for while and after winning in Toronto last week, he knows he can go without one. The Brit has admitted he is enjoying his time alone without a coach.
"I feel a lot of freedom," Murray said Tuesday. "I've only been a few weeks on my own. But I played some of my best tennis last week, I don't know if it's from not having a coach or not. But I know I've improved since Wimbledon."
His win over David Nalbandian, Rafael Nadal, and final-nemesis Roger Federer last week put a lot of confidence that he can go alone.
"I won't have a coach at the US Open. After that I'll have a break to sit down and think about it," Murray said. "I don't want to rush into choosing anyone. It's a big decision. You spend a lot of time with a coach and you want that relationship to last as long as possible. I need to think long and hard. In some ways it's nice not to have a coach for a while. I have more responsibility to figure out a few things by myself on court."
Murray won six titles last year, but has only captured one this year, which was last week in Toronto.
