British No.2 Jack Draper announced a reshuffle of his coaching staff for the upcoming grass‑court swing, bringing three‑time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray into the fold. Draper confirmed the split with Jamie Delgado after six months, thanking the Spaniard for his “world‑class” guidance. Murray will not carry an official title but will advise Draper throughout the season.

The timing matters because Draper withdrew from the French Open with a knee injury, leaving his preparation for Wimbledon uncertain. He will continue to receive support from the LTA, now supplemented by Murray’s experience of handling British expectations and pressure on centre court. Murray, returning from an eight‑month arm injury, sees the role as a natural extension of his recent coaching stint with Novak Djokovic.

Jamie Murray believes his brother is uniquely positioned to guide the 24‑year‑old through the early stage of his 2026 campaign, citing Andy’s own battles with injuries and the mental strain of being Britain’s top player. If Draper can stay healthy, the partnership could give him a steadier platform heading into Wimbledon, where past British successes have been scarce.
