Judy Murray drops huge hint over son Andy's next job after coaching Novak Djokovic

Andy Murray is unlikely to jump back into coaching at the top level of tennis after splitting from Novak Djokovic , according to his mum. Murray’s link-up with Djokovic came to an end at the start of May after six months of the former rivals working together and he isn’t in a rush to find a new job. Murray retired from playing tennis last summer before surprisingly joining the Serbian’s coaching team in a bid to try and improve the 24-time Grand Slam champion. The combination did not work out and they mutually agreed to part ways last month, cutting Murray loose into retirement. The 38-year-old had been enjoying playing golf and spending time with his family before the Djokovic job came up unexpectedly. And Judy Murray says there are no plans to find another high-profile player to coach. She told The National : "Andy had just retired and wasn't looking to go into coaching but he stepped in because Novak asked him. "When they joined up, I was certainly interested to see how he got on being on the other side of things and realising how stressful it can be. I don't think he's ready to jump straight back into coaching, though, because the tennis circuit is relentless." Judy Murray added: "I can see him doing a consultant type role with young players and he's already done a lot of mentoring with the British players on the men's side who are coming through, but I can't see him being a full-time tennis coach. "There's more to life than jumping straight back into the tennis rat race after nearly 20 years as a player. I don't think he'll necessarily want to jump back onto that merry-go-round – not when you’re someone who’s got four kids to taxi around and you want to get your golf handicap to scratch. "Whether he does it in the future, I don't know – that’s for him to answer and I actually don't think he knows the answer either but my guess is not right now." Djokovic had been struggling for form while working with Murray, but appears back to his best currently. He won the Geneva Open to make it 100 titles on the ATP Tour at the end of May and has now reached the semi-finals of the French Open, where he will face Jannik Sinner on Friday. Murray, meanwhile, will relish the chance to get back onto the golf course, where he had spent a lot of his time between retiring from tennis and working with Djokovic. “The lessons have made a huge difference. That’s been the most important thing for me,” he said last year. “I used to go down to the range and hit lots of balls, and I could hit a few good ones. But if you have a fundamental flaw in your swing or what you’re doing, it doesn’t matter how many balls you hit on the range. So, getting lessons and practising those things is helping.”
