Andy Murray has revealed he would like to coach Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz if he entered the profession after retiring.
The 35-year-old is nearing the end of career, having defied expectations already by continuing to play after two hip surgeries.
He is currently competing at the Hall of Fame Open in Rhode Island, reaching the quarter-finals after defeating Max Purcell yesterday.
