More from Britain's Andy Murray, who has been speaking to BBC Sport about what he does next after splitting with coach Amelie Mauresmo,

Having previously worked with another former Grand Slam champion in Ivan Lendl, will he looking to hire another big name ex-player?

He said: "It’s definitely possible it would be an ex-player, there’s a reason why a lot of those coaching relationships have been successful among the top players because they can help around the Slams, and in the big moments, the big matches, because they’ve been there and done it and they understand that. I wouldn’t rule that out."

Andy Murray says he is unlikely to appoint a new coach before the French Open, which starts on 22 May.

The world number three announced on Monday that he had split with Amelie Mauresmo after working together for nearly two years.

Speaking to BBC Sport in Rome, where he is preparing to open his Italian Open campaign on Wednesday, he said: "I wouldn’t imagine someone will be in place for the French Open, I’d say that’s highly unlikely. 

"I’m not going into a full-time relationship with a coach without having tried and tested it."

Tommy T Dickson Jr: Fav away ground is Craven Cottage. Pre-match pint in The Crabtree, walk along the Thames, usually a good result for Leeds United.

Greg Hesson: Reading is pretty dull. Generic new build full of toffs with no pubs anywhere near. I'd hate to go there every week.

Daniel Hughes: Hammers fan here. Villa Park - no booze at half-time, general sewage smell in Aston. Selhurst Park - Gastropub quality pies.

The importance of the pies at any ground cannot be overstated...

“Of course there are places available. Who knows who is going to be in the line-up next Wednesday? I have no idea," said the German.

“Hopefully we will have more players coming back and then we will have a really difficult choice to make. But I haven’t thought for one second yet about the line-up for Sevilla.

Peter Collins: Not a fan of Gateshead's International Stadium. Seats nearly 12,000 average attendance of just under 1,000. Zero atmosphere.

Tim Stubbs: While I'll always favour London Rd, sorry, ABAX Stadium, I like Brentford's Griffin Park. A pub on each corner of the ground!

We want to hear your best and worst away grounds, and which old stadiums you miss...

Fin Regan: Not one 'True Sky Blue' doesn't miss the mighty Highfield Road (Coventry City). Old school football was played there, muck and nettles stuff.

Dan Green: The pub outside Ewood Park, Blackburn is most welcoming after miles on the motorway coming from the south! #AwayDayBeers, external

Daaaan: Grimsby, 12-hour round trip from Newport, horrible smell of fish everywhere, and freezing cold, a 2-0 loss didn't help either.

Pat: Worst away ground was the Withdean, Brighton. Miles from the pitch, no atmosphere and no roof when it rained.
