World number three Andy Murray has announced that he has parted company with coach Amelie Mauresmo after two years of working together.

The pair initially linked up in June 2014, since when Murray has reached the final of the Australian Open, as well as the semi-finals of both the French Open and Wimbledon.

Mauresmo, a two-time Grand Slam champion herself, also helped Murray to his first ever titles on clay, but the pair have now mutually agreed to end their working relationship.

"I've learned a lot from Amelie over the past two years. She's been a calming influence in the team and we'll miss having her around," said Murray in a statement.

"I'll take some time to consider the next steps and how we progress from here, but I'd like to thank her for everything she has done, she's been an invaluable member of the team."

Mauresmo added: "Working with Andy over the last two years has been a fantastic experience for me. I've thoroughly enjoyed being part of the great team of people he has around him.

"Dedicating enough time along with the travel has been a challenge for me. I wish him and the team well and I hope he goes on to win any more titles."

Murray was beaten by Novak Djokovic in the Madrid Open final on Sunday in a result that sees him slip from second to third in the world rankings.
