Djokovic and Murray End Surprise Tennis Coaching Partnership
International Tennis Circuit: Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, both 37-year-old legends who once battled as rivals, have parted ways just six months after Murray took on a coaching role for Djokovic. Although the duo celebrated an Australian Open victory early in the partnership (Djokovic withdrew injured in the semifinals), subsequent tournaments saw Djokovic struggle with form and early exits. In a joint announcement, both players thanked each other, insisting the split was amicable. Fans have been fascinated by the pairing, given the two men’s storied rivalry on court, but the experiment proved short-lived. Murray, who retired in 2024, hinted he may pursue British tennis mentorship roles, while Djokovic looks to appoint a new coach before the French Open.
