Novak Djokovic to work with coach Andy Murray during Indian Wells, Miami Open
ATP
Former world number one Andy Murray is set to continue his coaching stint with Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic. Both started working together soon after the former British tennis star announced retirement from professional tennis after participating in the Paris Olympics last year.
At the time of appointment, it was announced that Djokovic and Murray would work together in the 2025 season but there was no timeline given. The 37-year-old, who is regarded as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles, failed in the first mega project with Murray as his coach as he was forced to retire from the semifinal of the Australian Open because of a fitness concern.
Ever since then, there has been uncertainty about whether the two would continue working together. However, as per the latest report published by English media outlet The Independent, the two are set to keep on working in the upcoming two ATP 1000 events — the Indian Wells and the Miami Open. Both competitions will take place in March.
After being forced to retire from the Australian Open in January, Djokovic was full of praise for Murray. He praised the dedication of the former world number one in his new role as well. "He obviously has a unique perspective on my game," said Djokovic back then. "He has played me and all of the current best players in the world and knows everyone well. He knows exactly what we need to do tactically - the evolution of my game and what needs to be improved. He has a positive approach and has handled the whole pressure very well as it is a completely different situation from being there as a player. He has been terrific with all the other team members and while it was unfortunate the way the Australian Open finished with injury, we had a great run."

- Lena does not need a special coach. She is not the same person she once was. Look at your photos -- when is the last time you saw that smile and sparkle in her eyes? When is the last time you saw her family in attendance? I believe it was once this season; sister Ana accompanied her to Australia. Perhaps Lena needs time away from tennis; time with professional help? If nothing else, her family should hold an intervention to snap her out of the hold Vukov has on her. It's sad to watch her lose matches she should be winning. Sadder still to see her vacuous facial expressions.mandoist24-02-2025
