Through a post on his official X profile, the Serbian legend announced that he will no longer collaborate with the former Scottish champion who had agreed to be his coach starting from the beginning of this season.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-time Grand Slam champion \u2013 who had reached the semifinals at the Australian Open and the final at the Miami Open in the first segment of 2025 \u2013 started the red clay season as worst he could because he lost on his debut in both Monte Carlo and Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>Against all odds, the Serbian legend missed the Rome Masters 1000 and will only play the Geneva ATP 250 before flying to Paris for the 2025 edition of Roland Garros. For the moment, the 37-year-old from Belgrade has not revealed who will accompany him in the upcoming tournaments and is training in Belgrade these days.<\/p>\n<h2>Murray thanks Djokovic<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.fhan14-2.fna.fbcdn.net\/v\/t39.30808-6\/496552852_739867305032171_6332801775209549493_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=833d8c&amp;_nc_ohc=J3N45VCpwQ0Q7kNvwGfmfcg&amp;_nc_oc=AdkV7IPDImEQWeOi8Zm65O_U6c8LsX01tCYUN8vjAKGlucc1pxMkcUZ0n7KtFz3RSjx9iad2nOSct8xLQ7BWOnz4&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fhan14-2.fna&amp;_nc_gid=59zBPz6wYshpEyryPe9zxQ&amp;oh=00_AfKDx6OkghlIVsp-lLXMW_KbBhKXhUimDMKelE-c0lH4ig&amp;oe=6829E9AE\" alt=\"C\u00f3 th\u1ec3 l\u00e0 h\u00ecnh \u1ea3nh v\u1ec1 3 ng\u01b0\u1eddi, m\u1ecdi ng\u01b0\u1eddi \u0111ang ch\u01a1i tennis v\u00e0 v\u0103n b\u1ea3n cho bi\u1ebft 'FIRST SPORTZ Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun &amp; support over last six months on &amp; off the court. really enjoyed deepening our friendship together X'\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The former world No.1 had nice words for Murray when he announced the end of their partnership and the Scotsman&#8217;s response came a little while ago via an interview with the &#8216;BBC&#8217;. &#8220;I want to thank Nole for the incredible opportunity he has given me to work together and I want to thank his entire team for making my job easier over the past six months. I wish Novak all the best for the rest of the season,&#8221; said the 3-time Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian&#8217;s latest goal is to win another Major title before retiring from professional tennis, but the feeling is that he will need a titanic feat to write yet another page in tennis history. The 37-year-old from Belgrade has not triumphed in a Grand Slam for a year and a half now, while his last memorable victory at the highest level was at the Paris Olympics last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Wimbledon could represent his last huge chance, while he will hardly be able to make it to the end of Roland Garros where he has prevailed three times in his legendary career (the last in 2023).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a9 Via Instagram Australian Open &#8211; Fair Use The collaboration between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray ended today.
