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.
