The word on the streets of tennis is that two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray might be in talks with Emma Raducanu to be her next coach.
This comes as the 38-year-old revealed in an interview on Sky Sports that he “would coach again” and has been approached by a few players.
“I’ve had a few opportunities to coach, but I don’t really want to do loads of travelling right now unless it’s with my family.”
Murray coached 24-time major winner Novak Djokovic for about six months, from November 2024 to May 2025. During this time, Djokovic had mixed results, he reached the semifinals of the Australian Open 2025 but had to stop due to injury.
He lost in the first round of the Qatar Open 2025, went out early at the Indian Wells Masters 2025, reached the final of the Miami Open 2025 but lost to Jakub Mensik, and then lost his first matches at both the Monte Carlo Masters 2025 and the Madrid Open 2025.
They did not win any titles together and agreed to stop working together in May 2025.
Murray added that Novak might not have learnt anything from him, but he learnt a lot from the champion. “No, I learned a lot, and honestly, I would coach again, but probably not right now.
“I knew lots about Novak’s game. I played against him for years and studied his game. It was interesting to see what his day-to-day looked like in comparison to what I might have been doing and how those things differ.
“From a coaching perspective, it’s about how you communicate your message to the player that you’re working with and how to listen to them. I really think that having kids has helped me with that – learning to be more understanding and seeing something from another person’s point of view and perspective.
“But I felt I learned that a bit from coaching in how to work in a team. When you’re the focal point as a player, all the team are working for you, whereas when you’re part of a coaching team, you’re a small part of that trying to help an individual do the best they can.”
Murray decided to retire from tennis because of long-term injuries, especially problems with his hip and back, which made it hard for him to keep playing at a high level. His last tournament was the Paris Olympics 2024, where he played men’s doubles with Dan Evans.
They won their first two matches but lost in the quarterfinal to Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in straight sets (6–2, 6–4), which ended Murray’s career. During his career, Murray won 46 ATP singles titles, including three Grand Slam titles (the US Open in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016).
