John McEnroe says that Andy Murray made a gutsy choice in picking one of the American's great rivals, Ivan Lendl, as his new coach. "I hate to give credit to Lendl but Murray needed to do something out of the ordinary instead of going with the predictable retread," McEnroe told the Telegraph. "This is definitely something that was, to me, unexpected. I didn’t know that Lendl wanted to coach. He could bring something to the table, without a doubt. Lendl didn’t win a major until he was 24 and guess what? Murray is 24 right now. So that could provide something worthwhile for Murray. I’m going to be paying attention to see how it works out."
