Novak Djokovic mooted that there were talks brewing between himself and Andy Murray to decide the future of their partnership after their initial Australian Open trial run and it seems the legendary pair will stay together at least for now.
Djokovic stunned the tennis world in late 2024 by adding his former rival as his new coach in what was heralded as the dream combination that no-one thought would be possible especially given that Murray had just finished his career and had never coached anyone.
No-mind a 24-time Grand Slam champion who was looking to box off some of his final career accolades including his 100th trophy as well as his 25th Grand Slam. But it worked at the Australian Open despite it being somewhat clouded by Djokovic's sudden withdrawal against Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals.
He has recovered from that thigh tear sufficiently enough to play Doha next week and it was these sort of draws last year that tripped him up losing to Luca Nardi, Alejandro Tabilo among others at Masters 1000 and lower level.
So it will be interesting but Murray will get until at least when he returns to his home Grand Slam to make his mark on the Djokovic camp. As per a report by The Times, he will remain as the coach for the legendary Serbian until at least Wimbledon.
This report was devised to give some rumours about Emma Raducanu's next destination and to unequivocally rule out Andy Murray at least for now calling the 'slim and fanciful hope' of a British union being fruitless right now.
Raducanu has just split from long-time coach Nick Cavaday who left due to health issues. She is working with Jane O'Donoughue but lost last night in Doha to Ekaterina Alexandrova.
So she will need to go back to the drawing board and it won't be to Murray. But names mooted as being in the running that are free could include Djokovic's former coach Goran Ivanisevic who left Elena Rybakina. But Murray remains and could be in his corner next week when he returns in Qatar. Often wanting to shroud himself from the spotlight, Murray of course gets attention being in the camp and hopefully gets results too.
Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have agreed to continue their coaching partnership up until Wimbledon (at least).

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
