Andy Murray, the former world No. 1 and two-time Wimbledon champion, is set to coach Jack Draper, one of Britain's most promising tennis talents, during the upcoming grass-court season. Draper recently announced his split from coach Jamie Delgado, expressing gratitude for Delgado's support despite a challenging period marred by injuries that saw his ranking drop to 50. The partnership with Murray is seen as an exciting opportunity for Draper, who hopes to regain his form after missing significant time due to an arm injury and a recent knee issue. Their first tournament together is scheduled for the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club starting on June 15, although Draper may also seek a wild card for the Stuttgart event the previous week. Despite winning his first ATP Tour title in Stuttgart two years ago, Draper has yet to advance past the second round at Wimbledon, and he looks to leverage Murray's experience to unlock his potential on grass, a surface where he has historically struggled.
