LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - Former world number one Andy Murray said he was surprised there were not more female coaches in the sport, having found success by working with Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo in the past.
"It's strange, I'm probably surprised there's not more female coaches across both (men's and women's) Tours," Murray told reporters on Saturday ahead of the Wimbledon championships.
"I didn't necessarily think at the time that it was for sure going to spark loads of new or more female coaches to come into the game.
"Then hopefully that transitions onto the men's and women's tour a bit more," he added.
"I don't even know that it would be a handful of female coaches across both tours, which is not enough."
