Andy Murray is set to play a major role on the ATP Tour in 2025, despite playing his final match earlier this year.
The British star made headlines throughout his career, thanks to his stellar performances on the ATP Tour that saw him reach world number one, and win three Grand Slam titles.
Murray retired from tennis earlier this year after struggling with several injuries that prevented him from performing at the highest level.
Many fans had wondered what Murray would do following retirement, but some shocking news recently broke that answered all of their questions.
Murray will coach Novak Djokovic in 2025, with their partnership stemming from a rivalry that saw the pair face off in seven Grand Slam finals.
Huge news that will no doubt further cement Murray’s legacy within the sport that was already mightily impressive.
A legacy that two highly controversial stars have recently been discussing.
Nick Kyrgios and Piers Morgan agree that Andy Murray deserves Wimbledon statue
Speaking on Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios, the Australian star sat down with controversial British journalist Piers Morgan to discuss whether Murray deserves a statue at Wimbledon.
“I think he should,” said Kyrgios.
Morgan agreed as he praised Murray for his personality and the way he carried himself.
“I do,” he said.
“I think he is one of the greatest sportsmen and he also epitomises what I like my sportsman to be.
“He has a persona that he plays up to which bears no relation to what he is actually like.
“In real life he is highly intelligent, loves a prank, loves a laugh.
“But he loves playing up to this persona he has.”
It wasn’t just his personality that impressed Morgan, as he commended him for his contributions to British sport.
“As a player, wow,” he said.
“One of the greatest sportsman England [editor’s note, Britain] has ever produced of any sport.
“I have a lot of time for Andy [Murray] and he’s a great guy.”
Andy Murray’s legendary Wimbledon victories
Murray enjoyed a fantastic career in tennis but there’s no denying that his best days came on Wimbledon’s Centre Court.
The former world number one took home two titles at the event, surely more than enough to warrant a statue built in his honor.
2013: Andy Murray beats Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon for the first time
Fresh off the back of his maiden Major title at the US Open the year prior, the Brit faced off against Djokovic once more in the final of Wimbledon.
It was his second consecutive final at SW19 having fallen in four sets to Roger Federer in 2012, and he looked to go one better this time around.
Remarkably, Murray took down Djokovic in straight sets, as he lifted the Wimbledon trophy aloft in front of an emotional crowd on Centre Court, becoming the first British winner at the event in 77 years.
Finally, he had done it, and Britain’s greatest tennis player in generations stood on top of the world with his first Wimbledon crown.
2016: Andy Murray wins his second Wimbledon title against Milos Raonic
In his 11th and last Grand Slam final, Murray took to the court in London once more as he looked to add a second Wimbledon trophy to his collection.
In his way stood the impressive Canadian, Milos Raonic who had just battled past Roger Federer in the semi-finals.
There was a steeliness to Murray’s 2016 performance, however, that proved too much for Raonic as he took home the title in straight sets once more.
Not only had Murray ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a Wimbledon champion, but he’d done it twice, as he became one of just 12 players to win multiple titles at the event in the Open Era.
Murray may have ended his Wimbledon tally at two, but he could potentially score a few more big wins at the event as a coach.
Murray and Djokovic will shoot for Slam success at Wimbledon next year, with the event getting underway on June 30.
