The Scot was with Head for his whole career. Not this week at the Bordeaux Challenger.
Same Andy Murray, different racquet? Returning to the court this week at the Bordeaux Challenger, the three-time major champion is sporting some new gear.
Murrayās got a Yonex racquet ā and some Yonex swag to boot.
Avant son entrĆ©e en lice au @BNPPprimrose, @andy_murray est actuellement Ć l’entrainement sur le court 1 de la @VillaPrimroseBx. L’occasion de constater que le Britannique, cĆ“tĆ© raquette, joue dĆ©sormais avec @yonex_com. pic.twitter.com/w8h5Hwly6e

Per journalist Simon Cambers, the switch has been confirmed by the 36-year-oldās team.
Really interesting move from @andy_murray – confirmation from his team that he has been testing a @yonex_tennis racquet and plans to use it in Bordeaux this week. Even now, always looking for that extra edge

Murray, who will turn 37 on May 15, is the No.7 seed in a stacked challenger draw in Bordeaux this week. He will test out his new racquet against a qualifier in round one. Arthur Fils is the top seed in Bordeaux.
Now ranked 77, former World No.1 Murray had played with Head for his entire career ā until now.
Murray, who has been out since injuring his ankle at Miami, is set to play the ATP 250 event in Geneva next week.
