Who is Andy Murray’s former coach Ivan Lendl?

Former number one Ivan Lendl was one of the most decorated players of his era, winning eight grand slam titles.

He won three French opens, three US opens and two Australian opens during a 16-year career.

The Czech player reached a total of 19 grand slam singles finals over the course of his career.

He took part in 1,310 singles matches, winning 1,068 of those, giving him an overall win percentage of 81.5% during his career.

Lendl was world number one for a total of 270 weeks, first achieving this in 1983.

Lendl had previously been a coach to the Scottish tennis legend on two occasions, helping him to two Wimbledon titles, two Olympic gold medals, as well as the US open in 2012.

They first worked together between 2011 and 2014, before electing to work with former Women’s world number one and two-time grand slam champion, Amelie Mauresmo.

The pair reunited in 2016, which coincided with Murray winning his second Wimbledon title against Canadian Milos Raonic. Murray became world number one for the first time.

They split again in 2017, with Lendl later teaming up with Russian Alexander Zverev, helping him win the ATP finals in 2018.

One tournament that Lendl was unable to win was Wimbledon.

He got to two finals at the all-England club, in 1986 and 1987, but was runner-up on both occasions.

Why did Murray and Lendl part ways?

Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl’s work relationship ended due to the latter being reluctant to travel and preferring to spend more time at home with his family,

In November 2023, Murray said: “Ivan has been by my side at the biggest moments in my career and I can’t thank him enough for all that he’s helped me achieve. He’s a unique character, who understands what it takes to win and I’ve learnt an awful lot over the years from him.”

Lendl added: “I will look back with some great memories of the time Andy and I worked together. He’s as hard a worker as there is and the sport is better because of him. I wish him only the best in the years to come.”
