Andy Murray's mum drops huge hint over his next job in tennis

Andy Murray's recent departure from coaching Novak Djokovic may influence betting outcomes, as Djokovic’s performance improved significantly post-split, suggesting a potential resurgence. Meanwhile, Murray is likely to focus on informal mentorship rather than full-time coaching, affecting his future involvement in the tennis world. Punters should consider Djokovic's recent form and Murray's new role when placing bets.

Andy Murray is unlikely to move straight back into coaching after ending a six-month partnership with Novak Djokovic, according to his mum, Judy. The 38-year-old was expected to enjoy some quiet time with his family after calling time on his professional career last summer, but a whirlwind coaching gig with one of the greatest players of all time threw a spanner in the works. And it only lasted a matter of months before the pair 'mutually agreed' to split.

Djokovic was on a worrying run of form before he parted ways with Murray, and since the decision, he has won the Geneva Open and set up a semi-final at the French Open, which will take place later today (Friday).

On the partnership that promised so much but ultimately didn't work out, Judy Murray told The National: "Andy had just retired and wasn't looking to go into coaching but he stepped in because Novak asked him.

"When they joined up, I was certainly interested to see how he got on being on the other side of things and realising how stressful it can be. I don't think he's ready to jump straight back into coaching, though, because the tennis circuit is relentless."

Instead, tennis coach Judy foresees her three-time Grand Slam champion son working with up-and-comers on a more informal basis while he fulfils all of his other retirement ambitions. "I can see him doing a consultant type role with young players and he's already done a lot of mentoring with the British players on the men's side who are coming through, but I can't see him being a full-time tennis coach," she continued.

"There's more to life than jumping straight back into the tennis rat race after nearly 20 years as a player. I don't think he'll necessarily want to jump back onto that merry-go-round - not when you’re someone who’s got four kids to taxi around and you want to get your golf handicap to scratch.

"Whether he does it in the future, I don't know - that’s for him to answer and I actually don't think he knows the answer either but my guess is not right now."

Since splitting from Djokovic, Murray has headed in a brand new direction by taking up a role as an associate partner with venture capital company Redrice Ventures. The former world No. 1 will head up a group of athlete advisors for the firm as part of his new role.

Andy Murray is back on the coaching market after splitting with Novak Djokovic last month.
