‘Emotional’ Andy Murray urged on by Serena Williams’ ex-coach to give coaching a shot after retirement

Serena Williams’ former coach Rennae Stubbs has urged on former tennis player Andy Murray to undertake coaching roles. Stubbs opined that Murray would fare well in that capacity, given his compassionate nature.

Murray took up the racquet sport professionally in the year 2005 and touched great heights in the world of tennis before calling it a day at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Scot boasts of three Grand Slam titles, two Olympic gold medals and 41 weeks as the World No. 1 ATP player. In total, he amassed 49 titles, including 14 at the ATP Masters 1000 level and one at the ATP Finals (2016).
It’s only been a handful of months since Murray retired but Rennae Stubbs, who worked with Serena Williams during the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s final tournament (2022 US Open), believes the Scot should return to the Tour as a coach.

“Andy Murray, he would be great coaching anyone,” Stubbs said in the latest episode of The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast (33:51). “This guy knows tennis like the back of his hand, he knows emotion.”
Stubbs reasoned that Murray would be great at managing his player’s emotions.
“He would be great coaching anyone, female or male,” she added. “Because he just has a great tennis mind. Also, he was a very emotional player and I think that he’d be very empathetic to a player’s tough times on the Tour.”
