[ChillDoubt]

.....a rather surprising choice!

Hope it works out for him though, his form doesn't appear too bad at the moment.

[Jomlett]

It wont stand up in court!

[marval]

Well that is an interesting choice, I hope they can work well together.

[jim360]

Yes, a bit of a surprise. Fingers crossed that it works out!

[aelmpvw]

i'm not sure what any new coach can teach him about the game now, it's not rocket science

[Prudie]

Good on Mauresmo, this was hinted at a few weeks ago.

[Sqad]

But she is a woman..............what, apart from the obvious has she got to offer, than male coaches haven't.

Can't see that being a success.

[jim360]

I think it's about a fresh pair of eyes as much as anything else. We're often the worst judges of our own work, our strengths and weaknesses -- and a coach can see what works and what doesn't from a different perspective.

[Butterbun]

Now, a big surprise. Didn't expect that but hey, why not?

[Sqad]

Can anyone name a female coach at the highest level in ANY sport?

------------------
My thoughts too, which is why I liked him being coached by Lendl, someone with a lot of mental fortitude which eh obviously passed on to Murray.
Hope Mauresmo can resurrect that.

[Prudie]

I was going to say, good career move for her and she does have some masculine qualities sqad.

[jim360]

Yes I can, Sqad -- Amelie Mauresmo is the coach of one of the top stars in Men's tennis is the moment.

[toalisi]

I wonder what his Mum thinks!

[Sqad]

jim....who?

[jim360]

Why get so het up about her gender anyway? She'll be a good coach -- or she won't be. Only time will tell.

[Sqad]

\\\Amelie Mauresmo is the coach of one of the top stars in Men's tennis is the moment.\\\

I ask again Jim....who?

[Jomlett]

Billie Jean King was a coach and "Mikhail Kukushkin and Denis Istomin are incredibly rare on the ATP tour in being coached by their wife and mother respectively."

[Prudie]

As of now Andy Murray

[jim360]

You already know the answer, Sqad.

[Sqad]

Jomlet.......I cannot think of anyone of note, that were coached by BJK....certainly not a male.
