Once again, Andy Murray fooled his home nation by teasing them with blockbuster coaching news.
Fresh off his recent breakup with former coach Ivan Lendl in Miami, Murray mused several times during the event last week that he was considering several new prospects. On Tuesday morning, Murray posted this message on Twitter.
The word "confusion" was in response to Murray announcing on Twitter back in 2011 that Ross Hutchins would be his new coach. That proved to be an April Fools' joke but not before many media outlets in U.K. printed the story as fact.
Many U.K. press outlets ran stories on this new announcement on Tuesday. But Murray's management told the Telegraph UK that indeed it was just Murray expressing some humor and Murray had no plans to announce any coaching changes.
Murray is scheduled to compete for Great Britain in their Davis Cup tie versus Italy in Naples later this week.
