Andy Murray may have revolutionized the "Want Ads" process.
According to tennis.si.com, Murray indirectly posted an ad for a new coach, in the form of asking his Twitter followers whom they would choose as their coach, if they could select anyone.
Murray's coach Ivan Lendl, stepped down as Murray's coach during the Sony Open. Murray and Lendl said the decision was mutual, but that was the case only because Lendl decided he was going to pursue his own pursuits at the expense of traveling with Murray.
So Murray, who lost a controversial quarterfinals match to Novak Djokovic at the Sony Open, solicited advice about his next mentor on the social media site.
Murray got some interesting answers - some amusing, some food for thought.

“@andy_murray: If you could choose anyone to be your tennis coach who would you want it to be?” John McEnroe as he will never stop pushing! — Matt Blackey (@mjb_1971) March 29, 2014
Lendl helped Murray with his mental approach during matches. If Sampras had any interest, Murray should pursue to the ends of the earth. And if Sampras is unavailable, an intriguing alternative is Navratilova, whose also knows a thing or two about mental strength.
John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg also are interesting answers.
Whom should Andy Murray hire as coach? Do you have better answers than his Twitter following? Comment below or tell us @SportsWN.
