Andy Murray: Former tennis great James Blake explains why two-time Wimbledon champion can become ‘a great coach’
Former American tennis great James Blake explains why a coaching role would bring Andy Murray “joy” following his retirement from the game at the Paris Olympics.
A popular, and successful, figure in men’s tennis, the Olympics marked Murray’s adieu for the final time.
Murray, a three-time Grand Slam champion, is the only athlete with two singles golds in the sport, having won the event at London 2012 and Rio four years later.
After having hip replacement surgery in 2019, and a plethora of other injuries, the Scot withdrew from the singles at Wimbledon because he needed a procedure to remove a cyst from his spine.
And he gave one final, tearful, lingering wave to all sides of Court Suzanne Lenglen after he and Dan Evans were beaten in the quarter-finals of the Olympic men’s doubles in the final match of his career.
