CAMELOT FANTASIES

Lady TT,  I'm not privy to his thoughts on the matter, but my guess is that he'll have a go with the remainder of his team for now.

I think he has to sort out his goals for the next year or two, then decide who the best available person is to help him accomplish those goals.

At this point he probably just wants to get back to his form prior to his back surgery.   Obviously, I think a good Miami, or Davis Cup showing would help his confidence going forward into the clay season, though my expectations for him still won't be higher for him until the grass season and summer hard courts.

I can't say I'm too surprised General Hercules.
I think Ivan Lendl and Andrew Murray, OBE, accomplished the primary mission - get Andy to overcome the hurdle of winning a major, which happened. And then Wimbledon was the real icing on that cake.  I don't know that Ivan could do much more for Andy and it seems that Ivan wants to focus more on other projects of his own.

Here is the article from AndyMurray.com

Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl announce that they have mutually agreed to end their two year coaching relationship.
News - Wednesday, March 19 2014

The partnership between Murray and Lendl brought an Olympic Gold Medal, US Open title and Wimbledon Championship.

“Working with Andy over the last two years has been a fantastic experience for me”, said Lendl. “He is a first class guy. Having helped him achieve his goal of winning major titles, I feel like it is time for me to concentrate on some of my own projects moving forward including playing more events around the world which I am really enjoying. I will always be in Andy’s corner and wish him nothing but great success as he too goes into a new phase of his career.”

Murray, who is returning from back surgery and preparing to defend his title in Miami, said “I’m eternally grateful to Ivan for all his hard work over the past two years, the most successful of my career so far. As a team, we’ve learned a lot and it will definitely be of benefit in the future. I’ll take some time with the team to consider the next steps and how we progress from here”.

Andy will lead Great Britain in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup next month against Italy.

Lendl has recently played exhibitions in Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Nashville, Charlotte and London. He has also been giving clinics in the Canary Islands as well as opening new courts in Bluffton, SC at the Ivan Lendl Junior Tennis Academy.

I see. evidently Lendl has a lot going on in his own life.

If you think Andy has it bad, recovering from his surgery... look at the case of the unfortunate Mr. Juan Martin del Potro.  He is having surgery on his other wrist (left) on Monday.
He is going to be completely out of action waiting for the surgery to heal for at least 8-10 months.       One has to feel very sad for the big guy. 

He rose up to take the tennis world by storm in 2009, winning the US Open defeating the 5 time consecutive champion Roger Federer.
He's one of the only players who is able to beat all of the top players when he is playing well.
It took him about 2 years to get back his game after his right wrist surgery in early 2010 after the Australian Open. 
His prime years are slipping away.  Simply devastating news for Juan Martin.  Let's wish him a successful surgery and a good recuperative period.

That is just awful. It's weird how things like that happen. You get all the tools you need, but something keeps preventing you from being able to fully exploit them. Like you said, his prime years are slipping away and there doesn't seem to be anything that can stop the spiral of injuries. I feel so bad for JMD, or anyone who has the misfortune of being injury prone.

and they have carved out their immortality in the process.

and did I mention that they will be both 40 years old before long.

Wow, that's great. I didn't realize they were almost 40. They're not showing any signs of letting up either.
