Andy Murray has already received some advice about his next coaching role after taking on a job with his biggest rival, Novak Djokovic.

The announcement came as a surprise. Many thought that, if Murray went down the coaching route, he would work with another Brit.
But Express Sport readers now want him to avoid working with another high-profile name in the future, Emma Raducanu.

Less than four months after he retired, Murray has confirmed that he will begin coaching Djokovic for the off-season and Australian Open.
While the three-time Grand Slam champion had dropped hints about becoming a coach and seemed keen to stay involved in tennis, the news still came as a surprise – especially because he will be mentoring one of the sport’s greatest champions in Djokovic.
When Murray retired, fans speculated whether he would help a younger British star when he eventually went into coaching – a Jack Draper or an Emma Raducanu. The 37-year-old could still go on to mentor other players when his time with Djokovic eventually comes to an end.
But Express Sport readers don’t think it would be a good idea for Murray to join forces with Raducanu. 60 per cent said he shouldn’t work with the former US Open champion after helping Djokovic.

At the beginning of her career, Raducanu built a reputation for chopping and changing her coaches in quick succession, working with five in the space of 18 months. But she has since settled down with Nick Cavaday.

Cavaday was one of the world No. 59’s childhood coaches and he joined her team in January of this year. They have been working together ever since and that shows no sign of changing.
“The relationship with the coach is very good. It’s really good to be together. Nick is a competent coach but, more importantly, he is a very good person,” she said in September.
“I think being with a friend I’ve known for a long time in a familiar environment is the best environment for me right now, and I value the time with him.”

The pair have known each other since they were kids, first facing off in juniors before they became the best players in the world and battled for Grand Slams and the No. 1 ranking.
They’ve always had a good relationship but their dynamic will change as Murray becomes Djokovic’s mentor and sounding board.
After spending years playing against the Serb, Murray will have to start sharing his insight and pulling for his old rival.
