Key information

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

Novak Djokovic, one of the most decorated tennis players in the world, announced the end of his collaboration with Andy Murray. The Serbian conveyed gratitude to Murray for the support and friendship they developed over the past 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 – wrote Djokovic, 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, former world ranking leader, also thanked Djokovic for the opportunity to work together. "Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see you on court," emphasized Murray, wishing the Serbian "all the best for the rest of the season."

The 2025 season has not been easy for Djokovic. Although he started it with a semi-final at the Australian Open, subsequent tournaments did not bring the expected successes. 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. Fans are eagerly awaiting decisions about the further appearances of the Serbian tennis player.
