Andy Murray will meet with his team today to discuss his next coach.
The Wimbledon champion, whose two-year partnership with Ivan Lendl ended last month, is hoping to have a new coach in place by the French Open.
Murray is not due to play a tournament until Madrid early next month, giving him plenty of time to consider who he wants to guide the next phase of his career.
The Scot said: “I’ll definitely look at it over the next couple of weeks. I don’t plan on playing much tennis for the next week because I haven’t had much time off this year.
“I’ll definitely look into it and see which route I want to go down.
“Once you make a decision on who it is you want to approach, they need to be up for doing it and the amount of time it requires.
“Really, I haven’t spoken to any coaches yet, I haven’t written down a list of people, but I’ve thought a little bit about it and we’ll see what happens in the next few weeks.”
Trail blazer
Murray must decide whether to go for another high-profile former player like Lendl, whose hiring started a trend that has seen Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg return to the game.
Alternatively he could choose someone with a proven coaching background such as Bob Brett, Paul Annacone or Darren Cahill, with whom he has worked on and off for many years.
But finding the right person who is both available and willing to commit the amount of time required – something Lendl no longer was – is not likely to be easy.
Murray was speaking at the launch of this year’s AEGON Championships at Queen’s Club, where he will defend his title in June.
Last year’s triumph, his third on the lawns of West Kensington, preceded his momentous triumph at Wimbledon.
But since that historic day in July, Murray has had more downs than ups, failing to make the final of any tournament.
That is in a large part due to the back surgery he had in September to correct a long-standing problem, and which ruled him out for the rest of 2013.
Failure to retain his title in Miami last month saw him drop to eighth in the world, his lowest since before he reached his first grand slam final at the US Open in 2008.
