 "Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray reportedly make decision on future partnership")
Novak Djokovic is reportedly set to continue working with coach Andy Murray at French Open and Wimbledon. Murray had joined Djokovic as his coach for the Australian Open 2025 and while there’s no official confirmation on the extension, The Times has reported that the duo is set to continue working together unless there’s a breakdown in the ongoing talks.
Djokovic reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2025 before being forced to retire due to a tear in the left hamstring. Djokovic had refused to confirm Murray’s extension after his exit from the first Grand Slam of the year but added that he had “positive” feedback for the work done by the two-time Grand Slam champion.
“I don’t know. We both were disappointed with what just happened, so we didn’t talk about future steps. We were so fresh off the court. I will definitely have a chat with Andy, and thank him for being here,” Djokovic said.
“I will give my feedback, which is obviously positive, and see how he feels before we take the next step. We are still hot-headed and disappointed. So, it’s kind of hard to switch the page and start talking about what the next steps are. I think we both need to cool off a bit, and then we’ll have a chat,” he
Murray and Djokovic are reportedly currently working on the ideal schedule for the 24-time Grand Slam champion this season, with the first ATP Masters tournament of the year at Indian Wells in March likely serving as their next meeting point.
Djokovic, however, has also dropped hints that he may take part in the Qatar Open this month.
The French Open will start in late May and the Wimbledon is scheduled for the end of June.
Murray had praised the Serbian’s team during the Australian Open 2025 for its work with Djokovic, which has enabled the 37-year-old to continue playing at the highest level.
“I feel like they’ve been a great team [to be a part of]. At times it feels a little bit embarrassing that because of my relationship with Novak, how much people talk about that or when there’s a good result or a good performance that it’s because I’ve helped him.
“I’m fully aware that the team that is with him has done an incredible job over many, many years to allow him to still be competing at this level at the age that he’s at. They’ve been really helpful to me – it’s been great to be a part of.”
