In an exclusive interview at Wimbledon, Andy Murray shared his insights on fellow British tennis star Emma Raducanu's chances for winning a second Grand Slam title in 2025. The 21-year-old had a remarkable run in 2021, winning the US Open, but has faced challenges since then with injuries and form. After a long recovery period, Raducanu is currently ranked at world No.135, a significant drop from her No.10 spot in 2022.
However, Murray believes that Raducanu is making a strong comeback and has shown her potential through solid performances this year, including a victory over a top-10 player at the Eastbourne tournament. As she heads into Wimbledon 2024, her home Grand Slam where she made her debut in 2021, Raducanu is determined to make a deep run, although she remains humble about her chances.
While many have predicted that Raducanu will return to the top 10 and potentially win another Grand Slam, Murray believes it may be too soon to expect it this year. He believes that Raducanu needs to focus on building her fitness and maintaining it throughout the year by going deep in enough tournaments. As someone who has dealt with injuries himself, Murray understands the importance of staying injury-free for success in the long term.
When asked if he sees himself becoming a tennis coach after he retires, Murray revealed that he is open to the idea and will consider it. However, for now, his focus is on his own tennis career and making a mark at this year's Olympic Games in Paris.
Murray also took the opportunity to highlight two young British players to watch out for in the future. He named Jack Draper, the current British No.1, who had a stunning victory over Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz at Queen's Club this year. Murray has known Draper for a long time and believes he has a bright future ahead of him. The other player Murray mentioned is Charlie Robertson, a 17-year-old from Scotland who has been making waves in the ITF Junior Rankings.
As he continues to compete at the highest level, Murray is always looking for ways to support his active lifestyle and aid his recovery after matches. He has recently partnered with Vital Proteins collagen to help him in his physical endeavors. With his experience and passion for the sport, Murray is a valuable voice in British tennis and will continue to inspire and guide the next generation of players.
