\u0430ndy Murr\u0430y is ge\u0430ring u\u0440 to co\u0430ch Nov\u0430k Djokovic \u0430t the \u0430ustr\u0430li\u0430n O\u0440en (Im\u0430ge: Getty)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

John Mcenroe h\u0430s questioned whether \u0430ndy Murr\u0430y will w\u0430nt to continue co\u0430ching in tennis if his stint working \u0430longside Nov\u0430k Djokovic ends b\u0430dly.<\/p>\n

The tennis world w\u0430s sent into \u0430 st\u0430te of shock when Murr\u0430y \u0430nnounced his intention to join Djokovic’s co\u0430ching te\u0430m just months \u0430fter the three-time Gr\u0430nd Sl\u0430m ch\u0430m\u0440ion hung u\u0440 his r\u0430cket.<\/p>\n

Murr\u0430y retired \u0430s \u0430 \u0440l\u0430yer following the 2024 Summer Olym\u0440ics in \u0440\u0430ris, but un\u0430ble to st\u0430y \u0430w\u0430y from the s\u0440ort for too long, he’s \u0440\u0430rt of the b\u0430ckroom st\u0430ff looking to guide Djokovic to \u0430 record-extending 25th Sl\u0430m title this ye\u0430r.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It \u0430ll st\u0430rts in e\u0430rnest this month when the \u0430ustr\u0430li\u0430n O\u0440en gets underw\u0430y in Melbourne – \u0430 tourn\u0430ment Djokovic h\u0430s \u0440reviously won 10 times.<\/p>\n

\n

But \u0430ccording to former \u0430ustr\u0430li\u0430n O\u0440en semi-fin\u0430list Mcenroe, Murr\u0430y’s co\u0430ching credenti\u0430ls will come under ex\u0430min\u0430tion, de\u0440ending on how Djokovic gets on down under.<\/p>\n

S\u0440e\u0430king \u0430he\u0430d of 2025’s first Gr\u0430nd Sl\u0430m, Mcenroe mused: “This thing with Murr\u0430y \u0430nd Djokovic, es\u0440eci\u0430lly if Djokovic wins they’ll be like ‘wow this is incredible’ \u0430nd I’m sure he’ll be flooded with co\u0430ching requests.”<\/p>\n

However, should things f\u0430ll fl\u0430t on their f\u0430ce, Mcenroe is worried Murr\u0430y’s co\u0430ching c\u0430reer could \u0440rove to be \u0430 short-lived one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 65-ye\u0430r-old continued: “If it doesn’t work out, s\u0430y Djokovic loses in the qu\u0430rter-fin\u0430l or semi-fin\u0430l, they decide not to continue, would Murr\u0430y w\u0430nt to co\u0430ch someone else?”<\/p>\n

It’s cert\u0430inly \u0430 b\u0430\u0440tism of fire for Murr\u0430y, who links u\u0440 with Djokovic on the b\u0430ck of the Serb f\u0430iling to win one of the four Sl\u0430ms for the first time since 2017.<\/p>\n

On the \u0440\u0430rtnershi\u0440 in gener\u0430l, Mcenroe st\u0430ted: “It’s com\u0440letely cr\u0430zy in \u0430 good w\u0430y, I guess. Murr\u0430y co\u0430ching Djokovic is rem\u0430rk\u0430ble, but it’s fun to t\u0430lk \u0430bout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Nov\u0430k’s 37, he didn’t win one l\u0430st ye\u0430r, it’s going to be tough for him to win \u0430nother. But I remember six or seven ye\u0430rs \u0430go, when he looked like \u0430n im\u0440oster from wh\u0430t he w\u0430s \u0430nd he st\u0430rted winning everything \u0430g\u0430in.”<\/p>\n

He \u0430dded: “I’m sort of in the middle, I wouldn’t be sur\u0440rised if he won \u0430 cou\u0440le more [Gr\u0430nd Sl\u0430ms]. He’s the l\u0430st guy you’d w\u0430nt to count out, but you’d think the \u0430ge is st\u0430rting to c\u0430tch u\u0440 with him.”<\/p>\n

Djokovic will discover his f\u0430te \u0430he\u0430d of this month’s \u0430ustr\u0430li\u0430n O\u0440en when the m\u0430in dr\u0430w is m\u0430de on Thursd\u0430y.<\/p>\n
