Andy Murray: ‘They tried to coach me but I missed the signals’

Andy Murray revealed on Wednesday night he has been coached from the stands during a match – although he was totally unaware of it until afterwards.

On the eve his second match at these championships – against Robin Haase first-up on Court No 1 on Thursday – the Scot has entered the rolling debate on coaches illegally signalling tactics and advice to their players and, typically, he comes at it from an odd angle. He would not be drawn into criticising other players but told a story from his teenage days in Spain that shines an interesting light on a serious subject.
