LONDON/PARIS (Reuters) - Wimbledon champion Andy Murray appointed former women's number one Amelie Mauresmo as his coach on Sunday in a rare move for a top player in the men's game.

Former Wimbledon and Australian Open champion Mauresmo will initially take up the role for the grasscourt season and will join the British number one at the Aegon Championships in London next week, his traditional warm up for Wimbledon.
