Andy Murray would certainly help improve many players on the ATP and WTA tours should he make a return to coaching, having recently partnered with Novak Djokovic.
Murray “didn’t love” coaching Djokovic, who he spent six months with before the pair parted ways in May.
Djokovic enjoyed working with Murray, who decided to link up with his former rival just before the 2025 Australian Open.
The decision came following his retirement from playing tennis, which arrived after his exit at the 2024 Paris Olympics last summer.
Murray retired with three Grand Slam titles to his name, and jumped at the chance to join forces with 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic.

If Andy Murray will ever take another coaching job after Novak Djokovic split
The Scot remains unattached to any player, and has now discussed the possibility of returning to coaching.
He said on The Tennis Mentor: “I think I would if it was the right project. I think I would probably enjoy working with a younger player and trying to influence them from a younger age.

“I obviously would try to help any of the British players if they want and it works out just now. I think I would coach again in the future, I am just not sure if that will be in the immediate future.
“I was not planning on going back on the road when Novak called, it wasn’t something that I was desperately wanting.
“I was not missing tennis and desperate to get back on the road but it was a pretty unique opportunity. I think at some stage I would like to do it again.”
Three players Andy Murray could potentially coach if he makes a comeback
It really would be a shame if Murray were to never coach again, with the legendary figure undoubtedly boasting superb tennis knowledge.
Even though his spell with Djokovic was brief, the Scot will have learned a great deal about coaching in that six-month period.
And such experience could undoubtedly help a long list of players, with three potential standout candidates emerging following Murray’s comments on the matter.

Emma Raducanu
WTA ace Emma Raducanu is perhaps the leading candidate to be coached by Murray, largely given her lengthy coaching history despite her brief career so far.
Mark Petchey may not continue as Raducanu’s coach, with the former having just helped the latter shine at Wimbledon.
The 2021 US Open champion also fits the bill of Murray’s ideal candidate given she is just 22 years old and is a British player.

Stefanos Tsitsipas
ATP star Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently working with Goran Ivanisevic, but their brief partnership may already have an expiry date.
Tsitsipas could part ways with Ivanisevic after the coach publicly criticised his player, who continued his recent struggles with a Wimbledon first round withdrawal.

Having once reached number three in the world rankings, the two-time Grand Slam finalist has slipped to 26th, and could hugely benefit from having a figure like Murray in his camp.

Jack Draper
Back to British talent, and Jack Draper is another player who Murray would seemingly really enjoy coaching.
The British number one is flying high at this moment in time, although there is still plenty of room to grow, and Murray could be the man to help him achieve such growth.
The duo know each other well, and Draper knows he can turn to Murray if he ever needs any advice from the three-time Grand Slam champion.
