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

Djokovic further went on to heap his partnership with his
new coach and stated that both him and Murray are at an early stage of their
partnership and are still getting used to each other after competing against each
other for good part of the last 25 years.

"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."
A battle out there today. Thank you Melbourne for your energy 🫶🏼 and well played Jaime Faria, a bright future for sure. Blessed to break another record for most grand slam matches. I love this sport 🎾. Idemooo 🇷🇸 pic.twitter.com/FKHLsMkr3k

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
