Andy Murray is highly unlikely to join Emma Raducanu’s coaching team for Wimbledon 2025, according to multiple reports. Following Murray’s split with Novak Djokovic’s coaching team on May 13, 2025, speculation arose about a potential partnership with Raducanu, fueled by his earlier comments naming her as a “dream player” to coach, per Daily Mail. However, sources like Metro.co.uk, Tennis365.com, and Yahoo Sports confirm Raducanu has chosen to continue working with her current coach, Mark Petchey, through the grass-court season, including Wimbledon. Petchey, who previously coached Murray, has been with Raducanu since the clay season, guiding her to a fourth-round appearance at the Italian Open.
The decision, reported by GB News and Sports Illustrated, dashes hopes of a British “dream team,” despite fan excitement on X, where users like @beunderpressure called it an “ULTIMATE TEAM.” Posts from @_LiamGrace and @simonrbriggs clarified that Murray’s split with Djokovic, which followed a successful stint including Djokovic’s Australian Open title, has no connection to Raducanu’s 2024 Wimbledon mixed doubles withdrawal, which had caused tension. Raducanu apologized to Murray to avoid “bad blood,” per Reddit, but this isn’t a factor in the coaching decision.
While earlier reports, like a February 2025 Telegraph piece, suggested Murray could unlock Raducanu’s “top 10” potential, her commitment to Petchey reflects stability after parting ways with Nick Cavaday in January 2025 due to his health issues, per WalesOnline. Murray, now 38, is expected to explore other coaching opportunities, possibly with lesser-known players like Charlie Robertson, per X post by @_LiamGrace. For Raducanu, sticking with Petchey signals confidence in her current setup as she aims to build on her 2025 resurgence, including an Italian Open upset over Iga Swiatek.
