Andy Murray could become ‘greatest coach ever’ as exciting link-up with ex-rival teased
Andy Murray has been told to venture into coaching and help ex-rival Casper Ruud win his first-ever Grand Slam.
Murray retired earlier this year after a stellar two-decade-long career in the game, winning three Grand Slams, as well as two Olympic gold medals.Hanging up his racket after an emotional run to the Olympic doubles quarter-finals with fellow Brit Dan Evans this summer, questions about Murray’s return to tennis in a coaching capacity have been asked ever since.
Speaking at the time, the Scot admitted he was “looking forward” to a spell away from tennis, so he could spend time with his family instead.But less than six months after Murray officially called it a day, former tennis star Mats Wilander has urged the 37-year-old to return as Ruud’s coach.Speaking to Eurosport, the Swede said: “Casper Ruud is at the time in his career where you watch him play and you don’t know if he still believes that he’s one of the best two, three players in the world, because you would have to say when he made those three Grand Slam finals, that we put him up there.
