John McEnroe makes stance crystal clear about working with Andy Murray at Wimbledon

John McEnroe has expressed his interest in working with Andy Murray at Wimbledon - once the British tennis legend retires.

The participation of Murray in the upcoming Grand Slam is currently uncertain due to a premature announcement that he was ruled out. The ATP Tour had reported that Murray was "sadly out of Wimbledon" following back surgery.

However, the post on X (formerly Twitter) was quickly removed after it was revealed to be based on a report suggesting Murray would be out for six weeks after a procedure on a spinal cyst. It's understood that Murray hasn't yet decided if he will compete and will make a decision in the coming days.

Regardless of whether he gets his SW19 farewell or not, the end of the 37-year-old's illustrious career is near and he is considering his post-tennis life. Murray has previously hinted at a potential media career.

Tennis pundit and icon, McEnroe, would be thrilled to welcome Murray and another modern-day great, Rafael Nadal, into the TV studio. Speaking to inews, McEnroe said: "I wouldn't mind working with them if they were doing it.

"I'd love to, it'd be fun. Andy's got that dry sense of humour. I don't know him that well, but everything I hear off the court, he likes to be light-hearted and have fun.

YOUR TURN! Do you think Murray would make a good commentator? Tell us in the comments section.

"It depends how he would approach it but I've heard him a little bit talk about some matches, and he obviously knows a game inside out. He'd have obviously the insight of having played a lot of these players so from that standpoint, it would be quite interesting."

McEnroe doubts the legendary Roger Federer will ever become a regular pundit though. The American added: "I don't anticipate Roger doing tennis commentary. He's got a lot of other things going on."
