SO WHO ARE THE MEN IN MURRAY’S SIGHTS?

- ANDREW MAGEE

MICHAEL DOWNEY, chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Associatio­n, has been fiercely criticised for the lack of progress made in his tenure, but the Canadian is hardly inexperien­ced in the world of sport. Prior to taking up his post at the LTA in January 2014, Downeyy (top) was president and chief executive of Tennis Canada. He also had roles with basketball team the Toronto Raptors and hockey team the Toronto te Maple Leafs. H His appointmen­t of Bob Brett (middle) a as a director of player developmen­t f failed as the Au Australian was m more suited to on-court coaching than off-court a admin. Brett resigned just o over a year into his ro role and has been re replaced by Peter K Keen (bottom). T The former head of British Cycling has been appointed on a an interim basis.
