Murray's moonlighting coach

Shock horror expose.

Murray's coach has been moonlighting giving all Andy's tips away to a certain Japanese player.

OK it turns out that Nishikori's part-time coach was actually a certain Brad Gilbert and that the ideas Brad had to impart were probably several years out of date at best. Still it seems ironic that the youngster standing in Andy's way of reaching yet another slam semi is no doubt learning how to "win ugly" from reading that infamous tennis book as well.

What a pity though that it couldn't have been that other ex-Murray coach Gilbert protege Boggo up next instead.

Boggo must have read the wrong book: 'losing ugly'.

Chymondrion Gilbert has an interesting collection of players he's coached in his time :

Agassi
Roddick
Murray
Nishikori
and, of course, Bogdanovic


Whether or not imput from brad will do more for Nishkori than Bogdanovic is an interesting one though, it mus be added, Gilbert stated he was acting more as a "consultant" rather than replacing Nishikori's existing coach.
