British tennis legend Andy Murray is set to return to Wimbledon this summer—but not in the way you might expect. While the three-time Grand Slam champion has been enjoying retirement by spending time with his family and honing his golf game, he'll be a fixture on the ATP grass court swing in an exciting new role that has fans buzzing.
Murray, who briefly coached Novak Djokovic and has always left the door open to coaching, will be teaming up with fellow Brit Jack Draper. This partnership is one that British and worldwide tennis fans have wanted to see for years. Though Murray recently hinted that coaching might be a distant future endeavor, the timing of this collaboration has come as a pleasant surprise.
Draper, who has been battling arm and knee injuries since last year's US Open, will have the last British man to win Wimbledon in his corner. The hope is that Draper will be healthy enough to compete and shine during the grass season on home soil. Wimbledon kicks off on June 29, but Draper is expected to play a few warm-up grass tournaments first, meaning we could see Murray in his player's box in about a month.
As a side benefit, fans can now revisit a hilarious archived video of the two that's sure to get everyone in the spirit. Whether you're cheering for Draper's comeback or simply thrilled to see Murray back on the scene, this grass court season is shaping up to be one for the books.
