Novak Djokovic and Murray end partnership after six months

Although tennis fans expected that the cooperation between Novak Đoković and Andy Murray could last for a long time, it was felt that the cooperation between the two did not bring the desired results. The Serbian tennis player realized that it was time to say goodbye.

In November 2024, Andy Murray became Novak Đoković's coach, but six months later, the Scot and the Serb decided to part ways. The best tennis player of all time announced on social networks that he has ended his cooperation with his once great rival, with gratitude for everything done in the past period.

"Thank you, coach Andy , for all your hard work, fun and support over the past six months, both on and off the court. I really enjoyed deepening our friendship," Đoković's announcement reads.

With Murray as the head coach, Đoković did not manage to win any titles, and his best result was the semi-finals of the Australian Open. After that, there followed a rather weak period for the Serbian ace, who was eliminated in the early stages of the tournament in Doha, Indian Wells, Monte Carlo and Madrid, while he entered the top four only in Miami.

In the coming period, Đoković is expecting the 250 series tournament in Geneva and the second Grand Slam of the season, Roland Garros.

History of coaches

By the way, Murray was Đoković's seventh coach with whom he worked since he entered professional waters. He had the longest and most successful collaboration with Marián Vajda, then with Goran Ivanišević and Boris Becker, while he had shorter and less successful collaborations with Andre Agassi, John McEnroe and Radek Štepanek.

It will be really interesting to see who will succeed Murray , considering that the Serbian tennis player must find a recipe to get out of the crisis. His performances lately have not been optimistic, and it is clear that it is time for some new things. Can Đoković , despite his age, do great things in the rest of the season?
