It’s kind of funny, right? Andy Murray, who just wrapped up his tennis hustle after the 2024 Paris Olympics, is seriously considering dipping his toes back into the coaching world, even after he and Djokovic sort of… went their separate ways after six months. Yeah, six months. Just a tiny hiccup in the grand tennis timeline.
So, Murray found himself chatting with the BBC over at the Queen’s Club — seriously, they named the center court after him. Imagine that! Anyway, he’s got this itch to maybe, possibly coach again one day. Just not, you know, tomorrow or anything. His gig with Djokovic wasn’t something he planned post-retirement. It was more like, “Hey, here’s a wild chance to learn from one of the sport’s legends.”
Ahh, the memories. It sounded like they had some laughs and good times off the court, even if their results didn’t exactly shake the tennis world. But hey, they swung at it, right?
These days, if you’re hunting for Murray, check the golf course before the tennis courts. Picture this: teaming up with a ten-year-old named Gloria for a doubles face-off. It was him and Gloria taking on Laura Robson and a seven-year-old, Jay. His self-assessment? “My tennis is diabolical.” Way to sell it, Andy, way to sell it.
And he misses it, of course. The whole grass court season vibe and all. But life? Yeah, he’s finding new things, new rhythms, new joys. Tennis might’ve been his world, but stepping away? Well, it kind of grows on you.
Oh, by the way, random tidbit: Kartal snagged a win in Queen’s Club’s first round, Raducanu and Boulter are acing their doubles opener, and Raducanu’s been laying low after her creepy Dubai stalker episode. Stuff’s happening all over the courts, you know?
