Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have ended their six-month coaching partnership after Djokovic's disappointing performance in recent tournaments. Djokovic expressed gratitude towards Murray, emphasizing their deepened friendship. Initially, the collaboration seemed promising, highlighted by Djokovic's win over Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open, but his form deteriorated after injury. Following a string of defeats, including losses in Monte Carlo and Madrid, Djokovic admitted facing new challenges in his game, prompting him to withdraw from the Italian Open and seek a wildcard for the upcoming Geneva Open.
Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun & support over last six months on & off the court, really enjoyed deepening our friendship together.
It's a completely different feeling from what I had in 20-plus years of professional tennis, so it's kind of a challenge for me mentally to really face these sensations on the court.
After losing three matches in a row going into the Miami Open, where he lost in the final to Jakub Mensik, the 37-year-old is on another three-match losing streak.
Since recovering from injury, Djokovic has struggled badly with his form, opting to withdraw from the Italian Open.
