Judy Murray, a prominent figure in tennis coaching, introduced both Andy and Jamie to the sport at a young age. She coached them until they reached around 12 years old, laying the foundation for their successful careers. Andy, the former world No. 1, later trained with high-profile coaches such as Ivan Lendl and Amelie Mauresmo, leading to significant achievements including multiple Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals.
The family photo, shared on X (formerly Twitter), quickly gained attention, showcasing the close-knit and humorous bond the Murrays share. Judy’s post, highlighting the playful dynamics within the family, resonated with many fans, generating thousands of likes and comments.
Despite recent rumors linking Judy Murray to a coaching role with Novak Djokovic following his split from Goran Ivanisevic, Judy has reiterated that she has no intentions of returning to professional coaching.
