Andy Murray's training block with Ivan Lendl: Serve, return, sorting out a plan among key points to work on

It’s spring break time for Andy Murray. Murray is set for some time away from competitive tennis after losing to Daniil Medvedev in the second round of the Miami Open. The three-time Grand Slam champion is 10-8 for the season and has broken back into the top 100, but will not play the clay season and will instead have a training block with newly-appointed coach Ivan Lendl.

Murray knows the outbursts are not beneficial, and hopes the return of Lendl will calm things down a touch.
