Andy Murray Reflects on Djokovic Coaching Stint, Calls Results 'Disappointing'

The retired champion describes the six-month experiment as a valuable lesson in the realities of coaching.

Overview

  • Murray coached Djokovic from November 2024 to May 2025 in a short-lived, high-profile partnership that followed Murray’s retirement at the Paris Olympics.
  • With Murray in his box, Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz to reach the Australian Open semi-finals before a hamstring injury forced him to retire against Alexander Zverev.
  • Djokovic’s form dipped on return with first-round exits in Qatar and Indian Wells, though he later reached the Miami Open final before losing to Jakub Mensik.
  • The pair mutually ended the arrangement in May ahead of the French Open after a mixed run that yielded no titles.
  • Murray said he was fully invested, studying and editing match videos late at night, and he recounted an embarrassing first-day cramp during a team run as a humbling moment.
