The Frenchwoman and Murray announced the end of an almost
two-year partnership this month, but Mauresmo said the decision
had been made some time ago.
"Andy is complex. On court, he can be opposite of what he is in
life. It can be confusing. I was here to help. I had the feeling
I could not take things further anymore," Mauresmo told L'Equipe
Magazine.
"I had the feeling that we were at the end of what we could do
professionally. We came to the conclusion that it would be
complicated to continue."
With Mauresmo, Briton Murray won seven ATP titles, claiming his
first two trophies on clay in Madrid and Munich.
"It was a beautiful adventure. A woman coaching a man, it breaks
a few barriers in the world of men's tennis," she said.
"I liked the way Andy works, I liked to work with his team. He's
very curious, always in research. That's what makes great
champions."
The 29-year-old Murray, a former U.S. Open and Wimbledon
champion, is seeded second at the French Open which starts on
Sunday.
