Jack Draper has revealed he will team up with Andy Murray in a change to his coaching set-up ahead of the grasscourt season.

British No. 2 Draper announced he had parted ways with Jamie Delgado after working under Murray’s former coach for the past six months.

Draper confirmed that his new-look coaching team will include Murray, although the three-time Grand Slam winner has not officially received the title of coach.

“I am so grateful for everything Jamie Delgado has done for me these past six months,” Draper said in a statement. “He’s a world-class coach and a fantastic guy.

“In the interim, I will continue to support the best team at LTA, with the addition of Andy Murray, who will support me throughout the grass-court season.”

Murray will be tasked with retrieving and keeping Draper after an injury-plagued 2026 season.

Andy Murray reveals what he learned from coaching Novak Djokovic

The former world No. 4 has not played since mid-April, his return from eight months out with an arm injury hampered by back-to-back withdrawals.

The 24-year-old missed the Monte Carlo Masters and the Madrid Open and, most recently, a knee injury ended his hopes of participating in the French Open.

The news marks Murray’s return to coaching after his six-month stint with Novak Djokovic ends in May 2025.

In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Murray highlighted how his experiences working with Djokovic fuelled his desire to coach more.

“To be honest, I will coach again,” he said. “I learnt a lot, just about coaching, about how you have to get your message across to the player you’re working with and how to listen to them.

“Having children has helped me with that, learning to understand more and see from another person’s point of view and perspective.”
