In 2012, Laura Robson and Andy Murray made a remarkable achievement by securing an Olympic silver medal in the mixed doubles event. As a former partner of Murray, Robson has recently shared some interesting insights about a private conversation they had regarding his potential future as a professional tennis coach. Murray has been vocal about his interest in coaching, and has even mentioned it on several occasions.
However, Murray, who recently retired at the age of 37, is not looking to start his coaching career anytime soon. After spending a long time on the ATP Tour, he wants to take some time off and be with his family. This gives him the opportunity to carefully plan and choose who he would like to work with, considering his iconic status in the sport.
Robson, who maintains a close relationship with Murray, has disclosed the details of their conversations about his coaching aspirations to The Agency. "Andy would make a fantastic coach for anyone," she told Metro. "I've been telling him this for the past few weeks whenever I've seen him. He's truly amazing!"
She went on to praise Murray's analytical mind and his passion for the technical and tactical aspects of the game. According to her, he would be a great mentor for any player, and she knows for a fact that he has already been helping some junior players. "He even invited some of them to practice sessions and spent time with them in Greece before the Olympics," she revealed.
Robson believes that Murray would prefer coaching a junior player, as it would present a new challenge for him. "He's so passionate about the sport. Having him in your corner would be a huge advantage," she added. She even went on to mention some potential players that Murray could work with, such as rising stars Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. "He has so much knowledge and advice to offer," she concluded.
In an interview with the BBC last month, Murray also spoke about the possibility of a coaching career in tennis. "It's something I could see myself doing in the future," he said. "I recently went to watch a young Scottish player in Wimbledon's pre-qualifying rounds, and I really enjoyed it. Coaching is something I could definitely do, but not at the moment. I don't want to travel right now. Maybe in the future."
Tennis fans can catch all the action of the US Open exclusively on Sky Sports and their streaming service from 26 August onwards. Who knows, we might even see Murray in the player's box, offering his valuable insights and guidance to the next generation of players.
