At the end of last week, Novak Djokovic announced news that delighted his fans: a new coach. In fact, the Serbian had not been accompanied for several months and he chose to call for help a former player whom he knows very well. Andy Murray will be in Djokovic’s box from the 2025 season, an association which has generated a lot of reactions because it is surprising.
Absent from the end of the end of the season, Novak Djokovic chose to rest in preparation for the next one. He has just concluded 2024 without a new title of the Grand Slam and at 37, he is nearing the end of his career. But to get back on track, he chose to call a new coach to the rescue and not the least important one. Andy Murray has just put away his rackets and will therefore take a new cap to accompany one of his biggest rivals. The Serbian spoke behind the scenes of this collaboration.

A thunderous announcement
Fans of Novak Djokovic expected an announcement concerning the name of their new coach but they were far from imagining thatAndy Murray could occupy this position. The Scot will therefore be present in 2025 on the circuit but not to play. “Andy was caught off guard because he wasn’t expecting it. We got along very quickly and he accepted after a few days. I couldn’t be more excited about this” assures the Serb in comments reported by We Love Tennis.
“It’s exciting for tennis”
Winner of the last gold medal Olympic Games, Novak Djokovic managed to get the last title he was missing. The Serbian, down to 7th place in the world at the end of the season, will try to find success again next season with an opponent he has faced 36 times for 25 victories. “This collaboration is a surprise for me and for everyone, but it’s exciting for tennis. He has been one of my biggest rivals and we are the same age, we have played in all the biggest stadiums in our sport, so I can’t wait to get on the pitch and prepare for next season » continues the Djoker.
