Andy Murray has accepted a new off-court job amidst his partnership with Novak Djokovic. The 3-time Grand Slam champion became Nole's coach at the beginning of 2025, having their first tournament together at the past Australian Open.
However, the retired Brit has not been at all the tournaments Djokovic has participated in. Murray did not travel to the Brisbane International at the start of the year nor later in February to the Qatar Open. The former world No. 1 was at the Sunshine Double, working with Nole at the Indian Wells and Miami Open.
Later, Murray was absent at the Monte-Carlo Masters, where the 24-time Grand Slam champion invited his brother Marko Djokovic in his place, with whom he was also in the Madrid Open. The world No. 5 then withdrew from the Rome Open and is expected to return directly at Roland Garros, where all indications are that Murray will also be present.
According to a recent report from Express UK, Murray signed an agreement with the company Chartwell Speakers, which manages talks by renowned clients such as former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, and Olympic athlete Mo Farah. The 37-year-old former player surely has many stories to tell about the challenges he overcame in his career to become one of the best players of the last decades and the best Briton in history.
Murray won his second Wimbledon title in 2016. He defeated Milos Raonic in the final: 6-4, 7-6, 7-6
“Andy’s story of overcoming adversity continues to inspire both on and off the court,” Chartwell’s website says. “Despite hip surgery in 2018 and 2019, his resilience and passion for the game have seen him return to the court, inspiring millions with his determination to compete at the highest level.
"Murray’s insights on adversity, leadership, and peak performance make him a sought-after speaker at events worldwide. His ability to connect with audiences and share his experiences offers valuable lessons in resilience, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence.”
Murray reached the top of the ranking in 2016 for 42 weeks. He is the only player who managed to break the hegemony of the Big-3 between 2004 and 2022, and in that period, he achieved three Grand Slam titles: US Open (2012), Wimbledon (2013, 2016). He is the only British male tennis player to win a Grand Slam in the Open Era since Fred Perry achieved it in 1936. He also fell in another eight Grand Slam finals (all against Djokovic or Federer).
He led his country to the Davis Cup title in 2015, won the 2015 ATP Finals, and a total of 14 Masters 1000 titles. He concluded his career at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with 46 total titles, also winning two gold medals in the Olympic singles (2012 and 2016) and a silver in mixed doubles (2012 alongside Laura Robson).

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
