 Murray has been practicing with Tim Henman in Paris |
Andy Murray has admitted he is finding life difficult without a coach and hopes to appoint one before Wimbledon. The 19-year-old is working with former coach Leon Smith at the French Open after sacking Mark Petchey in April.
"I must admit that since splitting with Mark it has been tough not having someone to talk to," he told the Sun.
"Leon is a big help. If I don't have a new coach for Wimbledon - and there's a chance I'll have someone in place by then - I might ask Leon to come back."
Smith coached Murray for six years until the Scot turned 17 and is working with the teenager again on a temporary basis.
"I need someone to be with me, to feed me balls on the practice court and to discuss things," said Murray.
"I get on well with Leon but I do not expect him to be alongside me after the French."
Murray opens his first French Open campaign against fellow teenager Gael Monfils of France.
