Andy Murray, 38, will work with Jack Draper through the grass-court swing, including Wimbledon, after the British No. 2 split with coach Jamie Delgado.
Draper said Murray will support him on an interim basis alongside the LTA setup as he targets a return from the knee tendon problem that forced him to skip this month's French Open.
Only eight tour matches since February have left the 24-year-old set to fall outside the top 75 after the Italian Open, with Stuttgart in early June a possible comeback event.
The move reunites two close British Davis Cup teammates and brings in a three-time Grand Slam champion who has not coached on tour since his six-month stint with Novak Djokovic ended last year.
With a history of career-defining injuries himself, can Andy Murray save Jack Draper from the same fate?
Will the 'master and apprentice' partnership unlock Draper's potential, or will the pressure prove too much?
