Andy Murray has candidly reflected on the time he spent coaching Novak Djokovic as he described his collaboration with the tennis legend as \u201can amazing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Djokovic<\/a> shocked the tennis world when he announced that he had hired Murray, one of his primary former rivals, as his coach ahead of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n Murray agreed to the role less than three months after he brought down the curtain on his glittering playing career at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.<\/p>\n Djokovic and Murray\u2019s partnership brought mixed results before they mutually agreed to end it after six months on May 13.<\/p>\n It got off to a hugely positive start as Djokovic reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, delivering a stunning performance to beat Carlos Alcaraz in the last eight.<\/p>\n The other high point was Djokovic reaching the Miami Open final in March, but he also lost his opening matches in Doha, Indian Wells, Monte Carlo and Madrid while working with Murray.<\/p>\n During an appearance on The Tennis Podcast, Murray was asked about \u201cgoing in at the deep end\u201d in his first coaching role.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is [going in at the deep end],\u201d the former world No 1 said. \u201cYou\u2019re obviously working with, he\u2019s not just 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 \u201cNovak, like myself, is a challenging character in terms of the way he goes about his tennis, it\u2019s extremely demanding. I fully expected that.<\/p>\n \u201cI look back on it and I\u2019m glad that I did it. It\u2019s an amazing experience that I\u2019ve had. I\u2019ve learned a bit. Obviously didn\u2019t last that long. I put everything into it that I had. I tried my hardest to help him.<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic speaks out about \u2018reconstructing\u2019 his body for 2026 after injury woes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Djokovic, Alcaraz, Sinner & Nadal\u2019s most lucrative seasons for prize money revealed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cInitially it was going well. It was unfortunate what happened in Australia with the injury, and I watched him play \u2014 in that tournament \u2014 ridiculous tennis, in my opinion. I saw him play some amazing tennis there. Speaking to his team about that, it was like, \u2018So, so good. So impressive what he\u2019s doing.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cAfter then the injury, it was certainly a difficult few months for him, but also I think for the team and all of us. So I was disappointed. Probably didn\u2019t get the results I would have liked for him.\u201d<\/p>\n The three-time Grand Slam continued: \u201cBut I learned a lot about what coaching is and because you\u2019re throwing yourself in at the deep end, you find a lot about yourself and some of your strengths and weaknesses as a coach and things that maybe you need to work on yourself.<\/p>\n \u201cI was fully invested, I was sitting there, like at 11 o\u2019clock at night watching videos of his matches over in Australia, editing videos to send to him. I tried my hardest to help. And made some good relationships along the way with his team, I stay in touch with quite a few of the team members.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m glad I did it, but disappointed the results weren\u2019t as I would have liked.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: 2025 ATP Tour Awards \u2013 ft.
