"I am very grateful for everything Jamie Delgado has done for me over these past six months," a Draper statement read. "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 grasscourt season."

Murray will be tasked with getting - and keeping - Draper back on court after an injury-plagued start to his 2026 season.

The former world No 4 has not played since mid-April, with his return from an eight-month arm injury hampered by a succession of withdrawals.

The 24-year-old missed the Monte-Carlo Masters and Madrid Open and, most recently, saw his hopes of featuring at the French Open ended by a knee injury.

The news marks Murray's return to coaching after a six-month stint with Novak Djokovic ended in May 2025.

In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Murray shed light on how his experiences working alongside Djokovic had fuelled his desire to coach more.

"To be honest, I would coach again," he said. "I learned quite a lot, more just about coaching, about how you have to communicate your message to the player you are working with and how to listen to them.

"Having kids has helped me with that, learning to be more understanding and seeing something from another person's point of view and perspective."
