The former tennis star spent some time coaching former rival Novak Djokovic earlier this year and admits that he would be willing to return to the role if it were with a home-grown rising star.

Murray told The Tennis Mentor: "Yeah, I would [return to coaching] if it was the right sort of project.

"I think I probably enjoy working with a younger player and trying to influence them from a younger age. I want to try to help any of the British players, if they want.

"I think I would coach again in the future, but I’m just not sure if that will be in the immediate future. I was not planning on going back on the road when Novak called.

"I was not missing tennis and desperate to get back on the road. It was a pretty unique opportunity. I think at some stage I would like to do it again."

Meanwhile, Murray explained just how hard it can be to win in tennis as he recalled a humiliating defeat to Swiss legend Roger Federer at the 2014 ATP Tour Finals, in which he only won a single game.

The three-time Grand Slam champion said: "One of the things with tennis is that it's hard, but with great lessons.

"Most weeks, you finish the tournaments losing. Even the greatest players, if they play 20 tournaments in a year, if they win five of them, that's a great season.

"The other weeks, you're finishing with a loss. But I would say that one of the matches where I was humbled was at the O2 Arena in the World Tour finals.

"I can't remember if it was 6-0 5-0, it was definitely 6-0 3-0 before I won my first game, and it might've been 6-0 5-0 against Federer.

"He was playing great, I was playing awful. It was in front of a home crowd, a huge stadium.

"I think it was the only time in my career when I was hoping to win a game. I definitely felt humbled that day."
