Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray will return to Wimbledon this summer as part of fellow Briton Jack Draper’s coaching team.
Murray, 38, triumphed as men’s singles champion at the All England Club in 2013 and 2016 — after winning his first Slam title at the US Open in 2012.
Since retiring in 2024, the Scot, who spent 41 weeks as world number one, has dipped his toe into coaching — helping long-time rival Novak Djokovic at last year’s Australian Open.
But that working relationship ended after six months — and he has been focusing on business ventures over the past year.
But now he is returning to tennis to coach Draper, 24, who reached fourth in the world last year before injuries hampered his progression.
Draper, who will miss the French Open due to a knee tendon issue, recently separated from coach Jamie Delgado.
Now all of his and Murray’s focus will be on the grass-court season as he bids to progress beyond the second round of Wimbledon for the first time.
Speaking about Murray coming on board, Londoner Draper said: “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.
“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.”
It is unclear whether Murray is a long-term addition to Draper’s team.
Draper’s best Grand Slam performance came at the 2024 US Open when he reached the semi-finals before losing to eventual champion Jannik Sinner.
In 2025, he reached the fourth round at both the Australian Open and French Open, before second round exits at Wimbledon and the US Open led to a five-month hiatus due to a bruised bone in his arm.
The extensive period on the sidelines is set to see him drop out of the top 75 in the ATP rankings.
On his return, he played in the Davis Cup and then came back to the ATP Tour in Dubai in February, but was once again ruled out with injury after just eight tour matches when he suffered a knee problem in Barcelona.
Italian Sinner is the favourite to retain the men’s singles crown at Wimbledon, which gets underway on June 29.
Six-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz is currently out with a wrist problem and it is unclear if he will participate at the All England Club.
Novak Djokovic is expected to continue his pursuit of a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam — providing he cannot achieve the feat at Roland Garros.
