The tennis world is exploding with excitement after Saturday’s bombshell announcement that Andy Murray<\/a> will become a coach to Novak Djokovic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Murray officially entered retirement in August<\/a> – and while he made no secret of his desire to start a coaching career – he was adamant that it would not come soon as he wanted to focus on spending time with family.<\/p>\n

Less than four months after hanging up his racket, though, Murray is back and will now help coach former rival Djokovic<\/a> into and during the 2025 Australian Open<\/a> in January, in what is initially a short-term appointment.<\/p>\n

But what can Djokovic expect from the British icon? Metro<\/strong> spoke to two of Murray’s closest confidants, Laura Robson and Tim Henman, to find out…<\/p>\n

‘Andy Murray has an analytical mind and will be focused on minor details’<\/h2>\n

Robson, who won Olympic silver with Murray in mixed doubles at the London Games in 2012, has hailed the two-time Wimbledon champion’s ‘analytical mind’<\/a> and believes that he will be focused on the ‘minor details’.<\/p>\n

‘Andy would be a great coach to anyone,’ Robson told Metro<\/strong> in August. ‘I’ve said this to him over the last couple weeks when I have seen him: You would be amazing!<\/p>\n

‘He’s got such an analytical mind. He loves the technique and the tactics and all the minor details you can do in tennis to improve by one per cent.<\/p>\n

‘He’d be great at working with anyone. I know he has been helping some of the junior guys. He invited them to some practice sessions and he had some time in Greece with them before the Olympics.<\/p>\n

‘He loves the sport so much. He would be a huge advantage in anyone’s player box. I can definitely see him working with Emma Raducanu or Jack Draper [in the future]. He’s just got so much advice to give.’<\/p>\n

‘Andy Murray has great tennis IQ and is able to coach anyone’<\/h2>\n

Henman, meanwhile, has lauded Murray’s ‘tennis IQ’ and believes the former world No.1 is capable of coaching any tennis player in the world.<\/p>\n

‘Andy Murray could coach anyone,’ Henman told Metro<\/strong> earlier this year. ‘He’s got great tennis IQ, and he understands the game well. <\/p>\n

‘Could he [one day] coach Jack Draper? He could coach lots of people. But I don’t want to throw speculation out there.’<\/p>\n

Henman believes Djokovic will be desperate to land his 25th Grand Slam title under Murray in Melbourne, as it will see him pass Margaret Court on the all-time list for the most major singles trophies.<\/p>\n

‘He’ll want to win 25 majors, just in the context of our sport,’ Henman added.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t think there’s any doubt he is the greatest male player of all time. The numbers speak for themselves. [But] he’ll want to get past Margaret Court.’<\/p>\n

Who else could Andy Murray coach in the future?<\/h2>\n

Murray spoke exclusively<\/a> to Metro<\/strong> at Wimbledon 2024 – and while he was tight-lipped on his plans for coaching – he did express excitement over two British players.<\/p>\n

Quizzed if any British youngsters had caught his eye, Murray said: ‘There are a few, new British players coming through. <\/p>\n

‘I hit with Charlie Robertson, who is from Dundee, and watched one of his matches at Queens. He\u2019s a really nice guy and I would say he\u2019s a player to watch \u2013 he had a pretty good year last year and I think he\u2019s got a bright future ahead of him.’<\/p>\n

Murray also spoke highly of the current British No.1 Jack Draper, adding: ‘I\u2019ve known Jack for a long time \u2013 he grew up near where I live. <\/p>\n

‘We\u2019ve played together in the Davis Cup and I see him on the Tour. He\u2019s a really exciting player to watch and I think he\u2019s got a big future. Jack\u2019s definitely got the ability to go right to the top of the game.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
