Andy Murray says he is in no rush to appoint a new coach despite his disappointing third-round exit at the US Open.

The British number one is still to officially name a successor to Miles Maclagan, who he split with at the end of July.

He is currently advised by former French Open runner-up Alex Corretja and did not initially seem to struggle with the departure of Maclagan when defending his Masters title in Toronto.

But he crashed out of the final grand slam of the year at Flushing Meadows after a four-set defeat to 25th seed Stanislas Wawrinka.

However, Murray does not believe that one defeat should change his approach and the world number four insists it will not lead him to making a panic appointment.

Patient

He said: "You've got to be patient. I was getting asked five, six days ago: 'You're playing great tennis, will you think about going without a coach?'

"It's based on one match. I'm not going to panic and hire someone to try and make things better. I'm going to take my time. I'm going to go home, have a rest, because I need it, and see what I decide to do after that.

"I'll speak to all the guys I work with and see what's gone well this year, what hasn't gone so well. It's one match and I wish I'd played better.

"But I'm not going to panic and start trying to analyse everything that's going on because I've been pretty much injury free the whole year.

"Physically I felt good the whole year. I played some of my best tennis in two of the majors this year. I want to improve and get better. I'm obviously going to look for a coach and people that are going to help me to do that.

Happy

"But I'm happy with the guys that I work with just now. They're all very, very good at what they do so I'm not going to start changing everything. I'm still looking for a coach. That's it."

Murray's quest for a maiden grand slam will now carry over into the 2011 season and the 23-year-old says he is uncertain when or if the wait will end.

"I've never won one so I don't have the secret answer to that. I think you need to play your best tennis during the tournament and that's it. That's the only way to win one," Murray said.

"There's a lot of tough players out there just now. If you don't play well enough you're not going to win. It's frustrating, regardless whether you're playing well or not, to lose in a slam. I would have liked to have done better here, but I didn't."

He added: "I have no idea of whether I'll win a grand slam or not. I want to, but if I never win one, then what? If I give 100 per cent, try my best, physically work as hard as I can, practice as much as I can, then that's all I can do.

"It's something I would love to do. It's a very difficult thing. But I'll give it my best shot."
