Three-time major champion Murray joined Djokovic\u2019s coaching team in November 2024 after calling time on his career at the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n
A promising first tournament saw the Serb reach the Australian Open<\/a> semi-finals before retiring injured, but later tournaments did not produce the same results and the pair ended their association in May, shortly before this year’s French Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI look back on it and I’m glad I did it,\u201d Murray said on The Athletic’s The Tennis Podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s an amazing experience that I’ve had. It didn’t last long but I put everything into it. I was disappointed. Probably didn’t get the results I would have liked for him.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a good opportunity because I felt I wanted to coach at some stage and if I didn’t take it I might look back and think it would have been really interesting, I could have learned a lot, or potentially regretted it.\u201d<\/p>\n The partnership dominated headlines as the two former rivals joined forces, with Murray choosing one of the sport\u2019s highest-profile players to work with in his first coaching role. <\/p>\n He said: \u201cYou’re working with not only one of the best tennis players but one of the best athletes of all time, so my expectation was that it was going to be extremely challenging.<\/p>\n “Novak, like myself, is a challenging character in terms of the way he goes about his tennis, [it] is extremely demanding.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n The pair worked together in Indian Wells but Djokovic lost in the first round (Getty)<\/p>\n Under his tutelage Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> to reach the last four in Melbourne, but the 24-time grand slam champion suffered a hamstring injury and retired after one set against Alexander Zverev<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764749659_387_GettyImages-2203714968.jpg\")
