Scotland's Andy Murray has revealed he plans to hire a coach before the French Open after parting company with Ivan Lendl.
Murray ended his association with Lendl last month following a two-year partnership that produced victories at the U.S. Open, Wimbledon and the 2012 Olympics.
He struggled to find his best form since returning from a back injury in December and was beaten by Fabio Fognini last weekend as Great Britain lost its Davis Cup quarterfinal tie with Italy.
Murray insisted he is in no rush to replace Lendl.
"The plan is to think exactly what I need over the next week, two weeks," Murray told BBC Sport.
"There's a lot of factors you need to look at and I would hope I would have someone in place by the French Open, but I don't want to rush it.
"I don't want to get someone just because they've won a lot of tournaments or were great players.
"(A new coach) needs to be the right fit for you and they need to get on well with your team too, because otherwise it's very hard to make it work.
"It's going to be an exciting few weeks because getting a new coach can make big differences, as you saw with Ivan.
"Since I've finished with Ivan, I've played a tournament in Miami and then went pretty much straight to Davis Cup, and I haven't really sat down and thought about what I think my future holds.
"So that's what I need to do over the next couple of weeks and then hopefully find the right person."
