Andy Murray: British tennis will witness a high-profile partnership during the grass-court season after Jack Draper confirmed that former world No. 1 Andy Murray will join his coaching setup ahead of Wimbledon.

The announcement comes shortly after Draper ended his association with Jamie Delgado, who had been working with the British left-hander since October last year. Murray, a three-time Grand Slam champion and one of the most successful British players in history, will now support Draper through the entire grass swing.

“I am very grateful for everything Jamie Delgado has done for me over these past six months. He is a world-class coach and a great man. In the interim, I will continue to be supported by the excellent team at the LTA, with the addition of Andy Murray, who will be supporting me throughout the grass court season,” Draper said in a statement.
