(Reuters) - Britain's world number three Andy Murray has stressed the importance of gender equality in tennis, saying the work ethic required to succeed is the same for both men and women.

Murray, who is seen as the voice of women's equality within the game for his previous views on various issues, was coached by Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo for two years from 2014.
