text: The future of Andy Murray’s coaching arrangement with Amelie Mauresmo looks shrouded in doubt after he confirmed that they will take a prolonged break from each other after Wimbledon. Mauresmo, who is expecting a baby in August, will be replaced by Swede Jonas Bjorkman in the lead-up to the US Open and quite possibly after that, depending on how she assesses her priorities. The 27-year-old Scot, who is in Munich for this week’s BMW Open and joined in the 100-year celebrations at the Iphitos Tennis Club on Monday night, parted company with Ivan Lendl last year because the Czech was no longer able to spend half the year travelling.

Murray made it clear that if the responsibilities of parenthood prevent Mauresmo from fulfilling her 26-week commitment, then their relationship may have to go the same way. ‘Right now Amelie does all the major competitions but if she doesn’t want to do loads of time, I don’t find it beneficial if someone just comes in for the major competitions and doesn’t do any of the training, any of the other events,’ Murray said. The plan is for Mauresmo to work with him up until Wimbledon, although by then she will be in the latter stages of pregnancy. Murray originally considered Bjorkman as a replacement for Lendl so if their current trial works well, it is likely he will take a more significant role than as an assistant to Mauresmo. It quickly became clear to Murray that the respected Swede might be used in an increased capacity after Mauresmo told him in February that, eight months after they had formalised their agreement, she was expecting — initially saying she had ‘something personal’ to tell him. ‘I thought, “Something personal to tell you?” I thought maybe she’s pregnant,’ Murray said. ‘She normally goes to the gym all the time but she didn’t train once through Australia. When she told me, it was a bit of a surprise. But because she’d pre-warned me I kind of expected it a little bit.’ Murray and Mauresmo look likely to part ways when his coach gives birth later on in the year . Jonas Bjorkmann (left) will work with Murray until the end of the US Open and then maybe longer . Mauresmo is not in Munich this week for Murray’s first tournament on the clay since he got married. So far everything with Bjorkman has been satisfactory and he joined them in Barcelona last week at a training camp. ‘He’s easy going but as a player he was mentally very strong and had a great work ethic,’ Murray said. ‘I see him as being a good fit personality-wise but you don’t really get the whole package until you’re playing matches and there’s a bit more pressure and stress. I wouldn’t imagine it would be too much of a problem for him.’ Although wearing a wedding ring, Murray will be taking it off when he plays. ‘I can’t play with it holding the racket because it gives me blisters,’ he said. After Munich, Murray is playing Masters level events in Madrid and Rome before heading to the French Open in Paris. Murray trains ahead of the BMW Open in Munich where he looks to pick up some wins on clay .
