Andy Murray will work alongside Ivan Lendl for the third time in his career with the 61-year-old, eight-time Grand Slam winner set to help the Scot try to recapture some of his old form in preparation for the grass-court season this summer

Andy Murray and coach Ivan Lendl have reunited for a third time with the pair set to work together in preparation for the grass-court season.
Lendl first worked alongside Murray from late 2011 to 2014 when they enjoyed a successful partnership.
He led the former British No 1 to his maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2012 before Murray collected his first Wimbledon title a year later.
Lendl, an eight-time Grand Slam winner, returned to Murray's team in 2016 when he guided the Scot to his second Wimbledon crown and year-end world No 1 for the first time in his career.
They split for a second time in late 2017, but after five years, the Czech former world No 1 will once again begin working with 34-year-old Murray over the next few months.
It is understood they will spend several weeks together in the USA after the Miami Open on an extended training block, where Murray and the team will prepare for the grass season.
Murray, who has already confirmed he will miss the clay-court season but has underlined his determination to play Wimbledon, will also be aiming to appoint an additional coach, who will travel and work under the guidance of Lendl.
Murray has been handed a wild card for this month's Indian Wells tournament.
The Indian Wells main draw begins on March 10, and wraps up on March 20 with the Miami Open set to begin the very next day.
The first grass-court events take place in the week of June 6 with Murray committed to playing at the Stuttgart Open.
If fit Murray will almost certainly enter Queen's Club the following week and Eastbourne that follows before the start of Wimbledon on Monday June 27.
