Judy Murray’s appointment as Britain’s Fed Cup captain, predicted previously in Bob Larson’s Tennis News, has been officially confirmed by the Lawn Tennis Association.
The mother of world no.4 Andy Murray and former Wimbledon Mixed Doubles champion Jamie, said: “It is a huge honor for me to represent my country in this way, and the role presents a very exciting challenge, given the mix of talent, experience and determination we have in our top female players right now.
“I’m also really looking forward to working with the LTA to develop a bigger and stronger female coaching workforce. I want to encourage more women to get involved in coaching at the highest level, and to personally support their development.”
Murray was Scottish national coach for nine years and has spent more than two decades working with both junior and senior players at all levels of the sport, including British number one Elena Baltacha, and British Davis Cup players Colin Fleming and Jamie Baker as well as her two sons.
Leon Smith, the LTA’s Head of Men’s and Women’s tennis is a long term colleague of Murray and he added: “To have someone of Judy’s standing in the sport in such a key role for us is going to be a huge asset as we look to support our best players and coaches, and begin to climb up the ladder in world tennis. I know the players and the rest of the team are really excited about this.”
