"We will see what happens down the line": Jack Draper ready to work with coach Andy Murray in future

Britain’s young tennis star Jack Draper has expressed his desire to work with former world number one Andy Murray. The 37-year-old, who is regarded as the greatest British player in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category, having won three Grand Slam titles, has recently started working with Serbia’s legendary star Novak Djokovic as his coach for the 2025 season.

The move was a surprise because the Glasgow-born retired from the sport recently after participating in the Paris Olympics. Djokovic, on his part, decided to hire his former opponent after having a below-par season in 2024, where he failed to win a single Grand Slam. It was the first time in seven years that he failed to win a major title in a season.

“Let’s see what happens down the line,” he said. “Whoever Andy coaches, whether it is Novak Djokovic or someone of a lesser standard, he will give so much to what that player has and he will study them and he will give advice. I have definitely asked him about my game in the past and he has always been amazing with analysing my play. He has got such a big tennis brain. Whatever he brings to any team will have a really positive impact. And I think his personality as well, the way he is, he is fun to be around. Yeah, we will see what happens down the line in the future. Right now, I am happy with my current set-up but it is really exciting to see him come back to tennis and feel like he wants to be part of it.”
