I think I'll do it again at some point," Murray wants to continue as a coach
Present at Queen's this Monday to inaugurate the center court named after him (Andy Murray Arena), Andy Murray took the time to give an interview to the BBC.
Retired since August 2024, the former world No. 1 had transitioned into coaching Novak Djokovic until early May. A collaboration that didn’t yield the results both men hoped for but allowed Murray to learn more about the coaching world.
He also expressed openness to future collaborations: "I think I'll do it again at some point. But it won’t be anytime soon. I hadn’t planned to coach right after the end of my career.
But the opportunity that came up was unique. I was lucky to be able to learn from one of the greatest players of all time. You also learn how to work as part of a team. When you’re an athlete, you have all these people around you, you’re the focal point.
Whereas when you’re coaching someone, you work with a physio, fitness trainers, agents… You have to find a way to get the message across to the player and figure out what makes them tick. That’s what I learned and what I need to work on if I want to do it again in the future.
It was a great opportunity for me. We had some really good times off the court. The results weren’t what we hoped for, but we gave it a shot. We’ll see if I coach again in the future, but it won’t be for a while.
