Djokovic’s Title Hopes Take a Hit: Andy Murrah Coaching Blow Deals Novak a…
Novak Djokovic is set to be without new coach Andy Murray for his first tennis tournament of 2025 at the Brisbane International.
Djokovic delighted tennis fans last month when he surprisingly announced that his former Big Four rival Murray had joined his coaching team.
Murray entered retirement in August and will now help coach Djokovic into and during the first Grand Slam of the year at the 2025 Australian Open.
But the British legend, who clinched the Brisbane title in 2012 and 2013, will not be present for Djokovic’s first tournament of the New Year, according to the PA News agency, which is a traditional warm-up event before the Australian Open main draw gets underway on January 12.
Murray is hoping to help Djokovic land a historic 25th major singles title at Melbourne Park, which would move him clear of Margaret Court on the all-time list and would surely cement his status as the best tennis player ever.
