Imagine you’ve just finished your education and it’s now time for you to get a job.

On your first day, you may be assigned a mentor – an experienced and trusted colleague to advise and guide you.

For many of us, that mentor may take the form of “Janet from human resources” – a sweet parental figure in the office, but you probably won’t be chatting about last night’s Love Island.

Now imagine you are a young British tennis prospect and you discovered your mentor was going to be Andy Murray.

Well, that is exactly what happened to 19-year-old Katie Swan and 17-year-old Aidan McHugh.

The players recently signed to Murray’s management company, 77 Group, and the two-time Wimbledon champion is now guiding them through the early stages of their careers on the tour.

BBC Sport went to meet them between training sessions at Wimbledon the week before the 2018 Championships began.

• How to follow Wimbledon across BBC Sport
• What happens behind the scenes at the All England Club?

BBC Sport: Nice to meet you both! You are playing here at Wimbledon this year – Katie you have received a wildcard for the main draw, how did that feel?

Katie: Yeah, it’s an amazing feeling. When I played here in 2016 it was a great experience but I didn’t feel like I was really ready. But this year I feel much more prepared and that I can really give it a good go.

Have you decided what you might do with the prize money? Do you think you will treat yourself? (First round entrants receive £39,000 – win or lose.)

Katie: No, probably not! It will all go towards my coaching and travel. Being a professional tennis player is relatively expensive.

Aidan, (who will be playing in the junior boys championship), you seem to have a big brother/little brother relationship with Andy. He seems to comment on your Instagram a lot…and he’s pretty savage!

Aidan: Yeah, he does tend to tear into me with some of the comments. I don’t think there is any maliciousness in it though – it’s all sarcastic! Katie gets a nice comment every now and again off him but that’s just the way it is I guess.

Katie: Yeah he does just tend to abuse you!

What does this mentoring role involve, Katie?

Katie: Well if we need any help or advice with anything we just send him a text and he does everything he can to help. He is such a nice guy and he’s so easy to talk to so I definitely feel comfortable to text him when I need to. It’s really nice to have someone who has been there and done everything. He is a real inspiration to me.

How often do you speak to him?

Katie: We are in touch every couple of weeks. We did a team dinner last week in Eastbourne.

What do you talk about at a team dinner? Is there much tennis chat?

Katie: No, not much really. We were talking about Love Island. It’s a big topic right now!

Ahh yes, so who is your favourite couple?

Katie: Dani and Jack definitely!

Aidan: Yeah, for sure they are the strongest couple but there are others who have some good banter. It’s quite funny to watch.

Do you guys manage to fit in dating at all?

Katie: Well I’ve had a boyfriend for two-and-a-half years so we are going strong! He is also a tennis player [British player Joel Cannell] so he travels a lot too. We don’t see each other often but we make it work….Anyway, Aidan?!

Aidan: Ha! Yeah obviously, one good thing I would say is, you are playing with the same people every week so the boys and girls all know each other.

Katie: That’s a very political answer Aidan…

Aidan: Yeah I know what I’m doing, it’s not my first time answering that question.

Well navigated. So what is the best thing about being on tour?

Aidan: Getting to travel around the world I’d say.

Katie: Yeah, you get to see so many amazing places and meet interesting people and we are getting to do what we love

And what’s the worst thing?

Aidan: Travel and jet lag is also the downside.

Katie: Being away from home and missing my dogs is so hard. I have four of them. They are a good bunch!

Aidan: Yeah I’ve got a cat too – Oscar.

Is there anything you feel you are missing out on?

Aidan: Well, my friends from school have just finished so they’ve just gone on a massive three week holiday which is pretty nice for them.

Katie: Same. During the summer, my friends go travelling and go away together. It’s tough but I would much rather be here at Wimbledon.

Talk to us about tennis – what do you want to achieve in the game?

Katie: The end goal is winning Grand Slams, 100%. Short term though, I have just recently got my ranking up enough to be in the qualifying for the US Open in New York so I want to play my best tennis there.

Aidan: I’d say the same but getting to number one would be amazing too. Doing that takes so much consistency – you can’t just have a couple of good weeks, you have to be doing it the whole year. But right now, I am just trying to get my ranking up. I want to keep improving and do well at some of the ATP Challenger tournaments.

So as elite athletes, your fitness is key but we often read people your age feel a lot more pressure than previous generations about body image. Is that something that you have experienced?

Aidan: I have read a few things about this but I’d say we are quite lucky – we play a lot of sport and always have done from a young age so appearance has never bothered me.

Katie: No I personally don’t feel any added pressure other than to look after myself in terms of my health. I try to eat the right things and get enough sleep. I don’t think worrying about what your body looks like should be the biggest thing – it should be yourself and your health.

It’s common for social media to heap pressures on millennials. Will you stay active online during Wimbledon or will it be a hindrance?

Katie: I will definitely stay on there. It’s nice to take your mind off tennis during the Championships.

Aidan: Yeah of course. I think it’s quite fun during tournaments.

Are you ever worried about the negativity some people receive online?

Katie: No. Honestly it’s pretty funny when you read some of the messages. I would never take it to heart.

Who is your favourite account to follow on Instagram?

Aidan: Conor McGregor. I love his posts.

Katie: The Love Island account!

Aidan: Oh that’s embarrassing!

Andy Murray says he will make changes to his schedule to “return to the top of the game”, after withdrawing from Wimbledon on the eve of the tournament.

The former world number one said it was “too soon” to play five-set matches after his comeback from hip surgery.

Britain’s Murray, a three-time Grand Slam champion, returned after almost a year out at Queen’s last month.

The two-time Wimbledon winner, 31, said he had not had any setbacks but it was the “right” decision to pull out.

Murray discussed his decision to withdraw and how long he can continue to play in an interview on Sunday.

Can you get back to the top?

Andy Murray: I want to play for a couple more years and hopefully be back competing at the top of the game and I need to bear that in mind when I am making decisions right now.

I think I will make changes to my schedule and things to try and look after my body better. I will certainly not be having any ends to the season like I did in 2016 when I was playing and winning matches every single week and not stopping for a break.

I will be working hard but not killing my body in training blocks either. Providing I am smart with those things, I believe I will be able to compete.

When did you make the decision?

This morning [Sunday] I spoke with all of my team and my doctor, as well, just to get his view on things. I was just sort of feeling that I was not ready and willing to play.

I didn’t know how I was going to respond to playing five-set matches. I would have put myself in a situation that I haven’t been able to replicate in training or in practice recently – which is a maybe a bit unnecessary to do that at this stage.

I went through a similar situation last year when I went into Wimbledon. I didn’t feel good before Wimbledon last year but decided to play. I know how that ended up.

Have you had any setbacks?

No. I’ve made progress in the last month which hadn’t really been the case for the last 10 or 11 months. I was going in the right direction.

I didn’t come off a particular training session and feel bad. I was kind of just reflecting a little bit on the last 10 days. It’s been a positive 10 days, two weeks.

How difficult was it to make the decision?

I didn’t feel like I was going to win the tournament. I didn’t feel I was going to do extremely well in the tournament. There were just so many unknowns.

It’s been hard because I really wanted to play. Once you get back on the match court, you don’t want to be taking what feels like a bit of a step back in some ways.

I feel comfortable with the decision because it is the right one for me at this stage, long term.

If I was thinking I would not play Wimbledon again, it would be a different decision to make.
