Andy Murray Joins Jack Draper’s Coaching Team for Grass Season, Including Wimbledon

The two-time Wimbledon champion brings big-match know-how to Draper’s injury-delayed grass comeback.

Overview

  • Draper announced Tuesday that he split with coach Jamie Delgado and added Murray to support him through the grass swing, including Wimbledon.
  • The 24-year-old is rehabbing a knee problem that already ruled him out of the French Open after an earlier bone bruise in his serving arm kept him out for months.
  • His stop-start year has pushed his ranking down to about No. 50, and commentators say he may need wildcards for summer events in Britain.
  • A return is being planned for Stuttgart in early June or the Queen’s Club tournament starting June 15, with Wimbledon beginning June 29.
  • The role is described as interim for the grass events, with Murray expected to focus on tactics, preparation, and handling pressure rather than a technical overhaul.
