Team Murray... the line-up behind the win

 
8 July 2013

Following Andy Murray's career-defining Wimbledon win, we take a look at the team behind the champion...

Ivan Lendl

Appointed in January last year, his no-nonsense approach has helped transform Murray mentally but has also encouraged him to be more aggressive on his shots. Many were sceptical when the eight-time Grand Slam winner took up the coaching post but Lendl is now at the helm of an incredibly tight-knit unit.

Matt Little

Murray’s strength and conditioning coach. Seen as the joker in the pack of the group, his focus is predominantly on injury prevention and making sure Murray stays in the shape of his life.

Jez Green

The fitness trainer sets the tone for Murray’s season by taking charge of his gruelling month-long winter camp in Miami. Green has made Murray bulk up and tested him with Bikram yoga sessions in punishing heat, no doubt helpful yesterday for what was the hottest day of the year.

Andy Ireland

He has been missing here for personal reasons but Murray’s main physio has worked wonders on the Murray back in recent months. In Ireland’s absence, Johan de Beer has been the key physio.

Dani Vallverdu

The Venezuelan has been best friends with Murray since the pair first trained together in Barcelona. While Vallverdu’s career never took off, he was snapped up as his on-court training partner.
