Jonas Bjorkman, the current coach of Andy Murray, had an illustrious doubles career, winning 9 men’s doubles Grand slams. The former world no.1 has won 54 career doubles titles. His other notable achievements include winning the year-end championships twice in 1994 and 2006.

On the contrary, Bjorkman has only 6 career singles titles and has a career singles win-loss record of 414-362. His best performance in a major was reaching the semifinal of the US Open in 1997 and Wimbledon in 2006. Even though he has a career-highest ranking of no.4, he has simply not been able to maintain the consistency in his level of play in singles as compared to what he has been able to do in doubles.
