Novak Djokovic says he and Andy Murray felt they “couldn’t get more” out of
their short-lived partnership.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion parted ways with former opponent Murray last week following six months working together.
Djokovic shocked the world of tennis when he enlisted old adversary Murray to join his coaching team in November ahead of the 2025 Australian Open.

Under Murray, Djokovic would go on to beat Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals in Melbourne, only to be forced to retire injured in the semi-finals against Alexander Zverev.
The Serb had said he hoped to work alongside Murray through to the French Open and Wimbledon but a poor run of form, which has seen Djokovic lose his first match at his last two tournaments, forced the pair to part ways 12 days before Roland-Garros.
Djokovic, who is in no rush to appoint a new coach has been seen working with Viktor Troicki, according to a video posted on his social media last week.
The Serbian Davis Cup captain was also in his box last time he played in Paris at the Olympics.

Djokovic has entered the Geneva Open as a wildcard as he builds towards the French Open, which begins on Sunday.
“We felt like we couldn’t get more out of that partnership on the court, and that’s all there is to it,” the Serbian said of his spell working with Murray.
“My respect towards Andy remains the same, even more actually, I got to know him as a person.
“I think he has a brilliant tennis IQ, he has a very rare mind of a champion that obviously has achieved what he has achieved, and he sees the game incredibly well.”
Djokovic explains why he chose former rival Murray as his new coach
World No 6 Djokovic is set for a second-round meeting with Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics – who sits 134th in the ATP rankings – on Wednesday in the clay-court tournament in Switzerland.
“At the moment, I’m not in need of a coach,” added the 37-year-old, who is yet to win a match on clay this year.

Výjimečný český talent vstupuje mezi elitu. Na vysněném mítinku, s velkými plány
Syn bývalé sedmibojařky a nyní moderátorky Kateřiny Nekolné je výjimečným talentem, který mu jeho křehké zdraví dlouho neumožňovalo naplno předvést.Až loni pod vedením kouče Josefa Karase zazářil naplno, když se stal v peruánské Limě juniorským mistrem světa, navíc v součtu 8425 bodů, jen deset bodů od světového rekordu této kategorie. Experti ho zařadili mezi tři vycházející hvězdy evropské atletiky.Bylo to Järvinenův poslední vystoupení mezi juniory, v devatenácti letech se přesouvá mezi dospělé. Plány na halový víceboj zhatilo zranění třísla, na letní sezonu už se připravil bez výraznějších omezení. Alespoň těch zdravotních.Od plné koncentrace na atletiku ho odváděly studijní povinnosti. „Není to jednoduché, celý den se učím, pak jdu trénovat, cestou domů se také učím. Regenerace není tolik, i se mi špatně spí na to, kolik energie spotřebuju,“ posteskl si Järvinen, jenž se snaží do hlavy dostat co nejvíce informací z češtiny, angličtiny, účetnictví, managementu a ekonomie.Odměnou po studijním […]
How fate gave Brighton’s cousins Hinshelwood and Howell ‘surreal’ moment to treasure
It was a ‘pinch me’ moment for a footballing dynasty when Jack Hinshelwood slotted Brighton & Hove Albion’s late winner against Liverpool at the Amex Stadium on Monday night.Hinshelwood’s cousin, Harry Howell, was just a few yards away, in the penalty area, when the midfielder converted Matt O’Riley’s cross in the 85th minute to snatch a 3-2 victory against the Premier League champions.Just a minute earlier the family members had been standing on the touchline together, side by side, as head coach Fabian Hurzeler simultaneously brought on the pair of homegrown players, both of whom started at the club in the under-7s. The moment Harry Howell come on alongside his cousin, Jack to become our youngest-ever #PL player at the age of 17 years and 29 days old. ✨ pic.twitter.com/FcOCEskOVB — Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) May 20, 2025It was […]
Procházka smetl ze stolu lukrativní bitvu v UFC. Velké rozhodnutí, tvrdí
Z Procházkova pohledu to v posledních týdnech nebylo pouze o učení na vrchol školních povinností. Má za sebou například i odvážný experiment, během nějž uplaval na jeden nádech 30 metrů pod ledem či se zúčastnil slavnostního ceremoniálu japonské organizace Rizin. Spolu s tím však nezapomněl ani na trénování s vyhlídkami na již osmé vystoupení v nejprestižnější bojové lize světa.Máte za sebou plno cest i zážitků. Jste proto zaneprázdněný i s ohledem na to, že vás brzo čekají závěrečné zkoušky na škole, kde dokončujete magisterské studium?Zaneprázdněný jsem hodně. Ale je pravda, že jsem teď měl hodně cest, zážitků a všech možných dobrodružství. Následující měsíc, zhruba do 24. či 25. června, jsem si ale jasně stanovil, že se budu jenom učit, s čímž už pomalu začínám. Například tento týden byl takový, dá se říct, učící. Je to sice trochu kousavé, minimálně ten začátek, ale vím, že to půjde dobře a dobře se připravím.Zvládáte do toho i trénovat?Musím […]
Hurricanes’ Shayne Gostisbehere appears to intentionally fire shot at Panthers’ Brad Marchand in Game 1 loss
Getty Images Brad Marchand has always been a willing shot-blocker throughout his NHL career, but he probably isn't used to seeing pucks fired at him intentionally. That's what Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere appeared to do in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final on Tuesday night.Late in the Panthers' 5-2 win, Marchand narrowly missed Gostisbehere with a big hit, which the latter apparently didn't appreciate. Just seconds later, Gostisbehere had the puck in the neutral zone when he seemed to wind and fire a wrist shot into the midsection of Marchand on purpose.Marchand certainly took exception to the play because he immediately went after Gostisbehere. The Panthers forward dropped his gloves, and the two combatants wrestled to the ground. Once the dust settled, Marchand was assessed two minor penalties for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct for dropping the gloves […]
