Britain's number one tennis player Andy Murray's new coach, former doubles world number one Jonas Bjorkman, is hoping to bring energy and enjoyment to the Scot's practice sessions.
Bjorkman, a former Wimbledon semifinalist, would join Murray's coaching team for a five-week trial this month as the Scot's main coach Amelie Mouresmo works with him for 25 weeks a year.
Bjorkman has said that after his trial period they would have time to discuss their roles and how they can approach things, the BBC reported.
Frenchwoman Mouresmo has joined Murray in Indian Wells this week, the first time they have been together at a tournament since the Scot lost last month's Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic.
Bjorkman said that he really likes the way Mauresmo believes how Murray should play, adding that the Briton is at his prime time with his age, so he insisted that the Scot has some interesting years ahead of him.
Bjorkman, who retired in 2008, said that Murray is in a great situation right now, adding that the Scot has played some phenomenal tennis.
