"It might happen but I hope it doesn’t": Novak Djokovic responds to Tim Henman's comment about partnership with Andy Murray

Novak Djokovic called out former Britain’s number one Tim Henman about his partnership with new coach Andy Murray. The former world number one joined the Serbia’s legendary tennis star in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category as his coach for the 2025 season.

For Britain’s number one, Henman has been recently quoted in a report, in which he stated that he wants to see both Djokovic and Murray shouting at each other during the matches. In response to that, the legendary tennis star provided an interesting comment and stated that he did not want that to happen. "Look, I saw what Tim posted a few weeks ago. He was really looking forward to me screaming at Andy during the matches," he laughed "It might happen but I hope it doesn’t because then he’s going to scream at me and then who knows what."

"It’s still quite an early phase,” said the Belgrade-born about his partnership with the three-time Grand Slam winner who is now working as his coach. “It’s a bit strange to have him - in a good way - in my corner, on the same side of the net, so to say. We spent 25 years competing against each other, hiding a lot of information, a lot of vulnerabilities, weaknesses. But now all of the cards are on the table. I think it’s great that the coaching staff is able to sit literally in the corner of the court. I know you guys haven’t heard that because there’s no microphones and I hope it stays that way because I’d rather not reveal too much of the professional talk."
