Amelie Mauresmo has given Andy Murray a big thumbs up for his Wimbledon campaign so far.
Murray has not dropped a set on his way to the quarter-finals, where he is likely to face his stiffest test against 11th seed Grigor Dimitrov today.
The defending champion’s excellence means Mauresmo’s first experience of being Murray’s coach at a grand slam has been largely stress-free.
“It’s gone well,” the Frenchwoman said.
“Obviously the results are a big part of it and then how he’s been playing and handling everything. I’m looking forward to the next round.
“He’s been pretty consistent in his first four matches.
“Definitely he’s going to have a big test against Grigor tomorrow. I’m not going to go deep into this but it’s great.”
Mauresmo was thrust into the limelight immediately when Murray announced her as his new coach after losing in the semi-finals of the French Open.
They have had to do their bonding largely in front of the cameras but both have seemed happy and relaxed on the practice courts and Mauresmo is delighted with how things are going.
“Things are smooth,” she said. “Everyone has really made me welcome in the team and I’ve got to know them all much better now. Things are smoother and smoother I would say.”
The 2006 Wimbledon champion works closely with Murray’s assistant coach and long-time friend Dani Vallverdu.
