Andy Murray has confirmed he will not appoint a new full-time coach until the end of the season.
The Scot has been working with Spaniard Alex Corretja on a temporary basis after splitting from Miles Maclagan in July and today reiterated he is in no rush to search for a permanent successor.
Ahead of the China Open in Beijing, the world number four said: "I want to make sure I pick the right coach.
"I don't want to just go for anyone as it might be a mistake after three or four months.
"I'm going to keep working with Alex through to the end of the year and then look to appoint someone before the start of the new year, probably in December time, when I've got a bit of time to try some coaches out."
Murray has had a mixed season with his first grand slam crown continuing to prove elusive.
His best performance came at the start of the year when he reached the final of the Australian Open before going down to Roger Federer.
He remains convinced his time will come although he admits it is unlikely to be at Roland Garros.
"I think the French Open will be my least chance but in the other three (grand slams), I think if I play well, I'll give myself chances to win. But it's very difficult right now because these guys at the top are playing very well," he said.
