British No. 1 Andy Murray is reluctant to make any changes to his inner circle, despite once again falling short at Wimbledon.

Murray, who lost to Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals at SW19, has been without a full-time coach since he parted ways with Miles Maclagan 12 months ago.

Recently he has been working with Darren Cahill and Sven Groeneveld, two trainers laid on by his sponsor, as he continues his quest for a maiden grand slam.

And although David Lloyd, the former Great Britain Davis Cup coach, believes Murray needs a full-time mentor if he is to challenge Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic more regularly, the Scot is intending to stick with his current arrangement.

"It's not worth thinking about what's happened in the last few months, as they've been very good - but I need to try and get better," Murray said.

"So I started practicing again on Sunday. I gave myself one day off, and then got back on with it. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, the guys I'm working with are excellent, they help me a lot."

Murray will be in action for Great Britain this weekend in the Davis Cup tie against Luxembourg in Glasgow.
