Andy Murray<\/a> has not ruled out a return to coaching after his partnership with Novak Djokovic<\/a> ended<\/a> after just six months.<\/p>\n

Murray, who retired last summer after the 2024 Paris Olympics, had worked with Djokovic at the Australian Open among other tournaments.<\/p>\n

“I would do it again at some stage. I don’t think that will happen immediately,” Murray told the BBC at the Queen’s Club on Monday where the famous ground’s centre court was named in his honour.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t planning on going into coaching as soon as I finished playing but it was a pretty unique opportunity. It was a chance to learn from one of the best athletes of all time.<\/p>\n

“It was a brilliant opportunity for me. We got to spend some really nice moments away from the court. Results weren’t as we wanted but we gave it a go.”<\/p>\n

Murray has been spending more time on the golf course than the tennis courts since he retired. He said that showed when teamed up with 10-year-old doubles partner Gloria as part of a ceremonial two-round rally against Laura Robson<\/a> and seven-year-old Jay.<\/p>\n

“My tennis is diabolical, apologies for what you are about to witness,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I’ve obviously missed being out here,” he added. “It’s the first time, obviously, not being involved in a grass court season for a while, but I’ve got a new life now and I’m enjoying being away from the sport a little bit.”<\/p>\n
