The world number four tennis player Andy Murray has hired Czech legend Ivan Lendl as his fulltime coach.
Murray has been working without a permanent coach since March but he will join forces with Lendl immediately in the build-up to this month's Australian Open.
Murray has lost three grand slam finals and reached the semi-finals of all four majors last season.
Murray will start his 2012 season with a first-round match against Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin at the Brisbane International on Tuesday.
