Dominic Thiem and Angelique Kerber are among those who have stepped away. Murray and Nadal also bid farewell to the sport. The Brit bowed out following defeat in the Olympics men\u2019s doubles quarter-final, and Nadal followed suit at the Davis Cup Finals in November, entering retirement when Spain lost.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>Three-time Major winner Murray has already found a new job, becoming Djokovic\u2019s coach for the off-season and the Australian Open. As tennis fans wait to see what direction Nadal goes in retirement, there\u2019s one path they don\u2019t want him to take. Asked whether the Spaniard should copy Murray by becoming a coach, 59 per cent of Express Sport readers said no. Nadal has not confirmed his next move, though he has announced a Netflix documentary series.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>The 22-time Grand Slam champion recently appeared at the Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah as part of his role as a Saudi Tennis ambassador. Nadal has also shown interest in other sports since retiring. He entered a golf tournament in Mallorca and travelled to the UK, first stopping off at the Manchester City academy before heading to Anfield to watch his beloved Real Madrid take on Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Although Express Sport tennis fans don\u2019t want to see Nadal become a coach, they are still backing Murray to taste success as Djokovic\u2019s mentor. 55 per cent said the Serb would win a title with Murray in his corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray both entered retirement this year.
