Andy Murray's latest move: More than just Djokovic's mentor?

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.

“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).
