Key Information

        
  • Novak Djokovic has ended his partnership with coach Andy Murray.
  • The collaboration began at the end of last year.
  • Djokovic expressed gratitude to Murray for his support and friendship.

Novak Djokovic, one of the most accomplished tennis players globally, announced the conclusion of his collaboration with Andy Murray. The Serbian player expressed his appreciation to Murray for the support and friendship they developed over the past several months.

Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun and support over last six months on and off the court - really enjoyed deepening our friendship together – Djokovic wrote, as quoted by the BBC.

Djokovic approached Murray with the proposal in November 2024. "We played each other since we were boys, 25 years of being rivals, of pushing each other beyond our limits," he said at the time.

Andy Murray, a former world ranking leader, also expressed his gratitude to Djokovic for the opportunity to work together. "Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see you on court," Murray emphasized, wishing the Serbian all the best for the rest of the season.

The 2025 season has not been easy for Djokovic. Although he began with a semifinal appearance at the Australian Open, subsequent tournaments did not bring the expected success. In Miami, he lost in the final, and in Monte Carlo and Madrid, he was eliminated in the early rounds.

Djokovic's future this season remains uncertain. His participation in the French Open in Paris is in doubt, and fans are eagerly awaiting decisions about the further appearances of the Serbian tennis player.
