Murray says coach Mauresmo will stay on

Andy Murray said that he and Amelie Mauresmo began discussing their further collaboration shortly after Wimbledon, where he lost to Grigor Dimitrov.

Andy Murray has confirmed that Amelie Mauresmo will remain on duty as his coach after their experimental pairing during the grasscourt season.

The world No.10, whose Wimbledon title defence lasted only to the quarter-finals, will play at the Toronto Masters on Monday for his first outing since that defeat in London.

"We've agreed to work together and I think from both sides we're willing to do what it takes to make it work long term," Murray said on Sunday, adding that his signing of France's double grand slam champion would be for the "foreseeable future."

Murray escaped last month to his training base in Miami, with Mauresmo joining him for the last week or so.

"I really enjoy working with her. She's helped me a lot," he said prior to his Toronto start. "She integrated well with the rest of the team.

"It's been a good start. Now it's about me producing the results." British media reported that Mauresmo will travel with Murray for 25 weeks per year, the equivalent of a full ATP season for a top player.

Murray said that he and Mauresmo, 35, began discussing their further collaboration shortly after Wimbledon, where he lost to Grigor Dimitrov.

"We made a plan for the next few months, in the build up to the US Open. I plan on working with her for longer than post-US Open, for sure."
