Murray is content to go it alone in US Open

The Scot followed up his last-four victory over Rafael Nadal in Toronto with a 7-5 7-5 triumph over Roger Federer in the final on Sunday night.

The victory ensured Murray's first success over the world's top two players in the same tournament and was only his second straight-sets win over the Swiss. The triumph was all the more impressive given Murray parted company with coach Miles Maclagan last month.

He has since reached two finals, losing to Sam Querrey in the Farmers Classic in Los Angeles before his success in Canada.

Murray now takes part in the Western and Southern Group Masters in Cincinnati before the US Open begins on August 30, and he will continue as he is, following his first tournament triumph of the year.

"I said at the start that I would like to have a coach, I think most players would like to have a coach," the 23-year-old commented.

"But I want to have the right person working with me and have the structure and set-up I would like. I'm not going to rush into anything.

"I'm sure after the US Open I will look hard at the type of person I would like to work with. But I can't see myself making any changes before the US Open."

Murray, who has now won seven of his 12 meetings against Federer, admitted he had enjoyed being on court more than in recent months as he successfully defended his title.

He added: "I felt pretty free on the court this week. I was going for my shots and had a game plan that I stuck to and when I wasn't in tough positions I kept going for my shots.

"I felt a lot more comfortable – I didn't feel I was on the defensive too much. You have to do that sometimes when you're playing against probably the two best tennis players of all time. But I was able to dictate a lot of points against Rafa and Roger, and that hasn't always been the case.

"The whole week was very good. I was a bit inconsistent at the start but I played some very good tennis before the quarter-finals and the last few matches will definitely give me confidence in the next few weeks."
