World number four Andy Murray admits he will play the US Open without a coach after a morale-boosting triumph in the ATP Rogers Cup.

Murray defeated Roger Federer 7-5, 7-5 in the final of the Toronto event on Sunday just 24 hours after beating world number one Rafael Nadal in the last four.

The victory clinched Murray's first ATP Tour title of 2010 and was a small measure of revenge for his loss against Federer in the Australian Open final in January.

It was also much-needed confirmation that Murray can survive on the tour without assistance after parting company with coach Miles Maclagan last month.

He has since reached two finals, losing to Sam Querrey in Los Angeles before his success in Canada.

Murray now takes part in the Cincinnati Masters before the US Open begins on August 30, and has no intention of looking for a new coach in the run-up to the Grand Slam in New York.

"I said at the start that I would like to have a coach, I think most players would like to have a coach," he told BBC Scotland.

"But I want to have the right person working with me and have the structure and set-up I would like. I'm not going to rush into anything.

"I'm sure after the US Open I will look hard at the type of person I would like to work with. But I can't see myself making any changes before the US Open."

Murray, who has now won seven of his 12 meetings against Federer, admitted he had enjoyed being on court more than in recent months as he successfully defended his title.

The 23-year-old Scot added: "I felt pretty free on the court this week. I was going for my shots and had a game plan that I stuck to and when I wasn't in tough positions I kept going for my shots.

"I felt a lot more comfortable - I didn't feel I was on the defensive to much. You have to do that sometimes when you're playing against probably the two best tennis players of all time.

"But I was able to dictate a lot of points against Rafa and Roger, and that hasn't always been the case.

"The whole week was very good. I was a bit inconsistent at the start but I played some very good tennis before the quarter-finals and the last few matches will definitely give me confidence in the next few weeks.

"I'll try to play well in Cincinnati but if not then preparations have gone very well so far and I'll try to keep it going before the US Open."
