Andy Murray's already had his say on coaching Emma Raducanu

Andy Murray has retired from tennis

Andy Murray has already made his thoughts clear on coaching Emma Raducanu, as the legend caps off an incredible career. Murray retires from tennis with three Grand Slam singles titles to his name after being knocked out of the Olympics men's doubles with Dan Evans by Team USA's Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz in the quarter finals. The Team GB duo bested Japan's Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel in their opener, before achieving victory over Belgium's Joran Vliegen and Sander Gille. However, Paul and Fritz proved too much for the duo in the quarter finals - beaten 6-2, 6-4. And while the Olympics look to be Murray's last professional outing on the courts, he could step into a coaching role. Back in 2022, Murray was asked by the Tennis Channel for four players who he would like to coach. To which, he responded: "Female player – Emma Raducanu. Male player - between [Carlos] Alcaraz, [Stefanos] Tsitsipas and [Jack] Draper."

A collaboration between Raducanu and Murray could help Emma reach new heights in an already impressive career, but it now appears unlikely to come to fruition. Not only did the 21-year-old pull out of competing with Murray in the mixed doubles of Wimbledon this summer due to injury concerns, but Murray has already been tutoring 17-year-old Charlie Robertson. Last month, Andy's mother Judy shared a snap of the two side by side on the courts - writing: "Charlie Robertson: the teenage Scot following in Andy’s footsteps is heading to New York next month to compete in the boys singles at the US Open. He’s ranked 25 in the world juniors and has just spent a week as Andy’s training partner as he prepares for the Olympics. "It’s 20 years since Andy won the US Open junior event in 2004 and it’s great to see him investing in the next generation. No better and quicker way to learn than working alongside someone who has been there and done it. Go Charlie."

Emma Raducanu is a shining star
