Andy Murray will coach at Wimbledon for the first time this summer when he links up with British No 2 Jack Draper.
Murray has long been an informal mentor to Draper, 24, having played as a Davis Cup team-mate to the left-hander and a regular confidant on and off the court.
However, Murray’s only coaching experience came at last year’s Australian Open when he worked with former rival Novak Djokovic, helping to guide him to the semi-finals.
The 38-year-old said he “learned a lot about what coaching is” during a six-month stint working with the Serb, but has not taken up any other roles in the year since splitting with Djokovic – until now.
Draper is currently recovering from a knee injury that has already ruled him out of the French Open at Roland Garros later this month, and had previously been working with Murray’s own former coach Jamie Delgado.
“I am very grateful for everything Jamie Delgado has done for me over these past six months. He is a world class coach and a great man,” Draper said.
“In the interim, I will continue to be supported by the excellent team at the LTA, with the addition of Andy Murray, who will be supporting me throughout the grass court season.”
The pair could make their first appearance together at the Stuttgart Open, which starts on 8 June, but if that comes too soon for Draper’s knee then they will target Queen’s on 15 June, a tournament Murray won a record five times, before Wimbledon starts two weeks later.
