Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have parted ways after a six-month coaching partnership.
Despite reaching the Australian Open semi-finals in January, Murray confirmed that he had left his role as Djokovic’s coach.
Analysts believe that Djokovic’s struggles for form this season likely contributed to the split.
The decision comes just 12 days before the French Open, which starts on May 25.
Key Highlights of Their Partnership:
– Australian Open Success: Murray helped Djokovic reach the semi-finals, where he lost to Alexander Zverev due to a thigh injury.
– Future Plans: Initially, Djokovic wanted Murray to stay on through the French Open and Wimbledon, but the partnership ended prematurely.
– Mutual Appreciation: Both players expressed gratitude and appreciation for their time working together. Djokovic thanked Murray for his “hard work, fun, and support,” while Murray wished Djokovic all the best for the rest of the season.
Potential Impact on Djokovic’s Career:
Djokovic’s lack of titles this season and recent struggles might raise questions about his form heading into the French Open.
With Murray no longer in his corner, Djokovic will need to regroup and find new strategies to regain his competitive edge.
