Andy Murray declares himself a feminist, after hitting back at sexist criticism of his coach Amélie Mauresmo
He writes that Mauresmo, as his coach, has often been criticised when he loses - something that he claims his former male coaches, like Ivan Lendl, never experienced.
Murray also commented on what he sees as sexism in the sport, where the minority / majority of top-level coaches are men. He said that it is a "crying / laughing shame" that there aren't more women coaches in the sport, before stressing that Mauresmo's gender was not the reason he chose her as his coach.
Murray's mother is a temporary /permanent fixture on the sidelines during his games, and it was through her that he got in to the sport in the first place. He pays tribute to her in his column, emphasising the role that women have in his life. |
