MURR IT OVER: Andy Murray breaks silence on coaching future with Novak Djokovic after Australian Open heartbreak

The record ten-time winner in Melbourne, Djokovic retired after one set of his semi-final against Alexander Zverev with a hamstring injury.

Scot Murray agreed to coach the Serbian in November, just months after his retirement post-Wimbledon 2024.

Both Murray and Djokovic are fiery characters, and they were often seen arguing between points during the Australian Open campaign.

Now Murray has revealed his future plans for the first time since Djokovic’s semi-final exit.

He said: “Novak and I agreed that after the tournament we would speak, and we’ll do that.

“At times it feels a little bit embarrassing that because of my relationship with Novak, how much people talk about that or when there’s a good result or a good performance that it’s because I’ve helped him.

“I’m fully aware that the team that is with him has done an incredible job over many, many years to allow him to still be competing at this level, at the age that he’s at.

“They’ve all been really, really helpful to me.

“They really welcomed me into the team, it’s been great to be a part of.

“I got to witness some amazing tennis, and one of the best matches that I’ve seen live against Carlos Alcaraz.”

The seventh seed was similarly non-committal when speaking about Murray’s future as his coach.

He said: ” We are still hot-headed and disappointed, so it’s kind of hard to switch the page and start talking about what the next steps are.

“We are both disappointed with what just happened, so we didn’t talk about the future.

“I’ll definitely have a chat with Andy and thank him for being here with me.

“I’ll give him my feedback, which is positive, and see how he feels and we will make the next step.”

Murray won three Grand Slam titles in his career, including beating Djokovic in the final of his first Wimbledon triumph in 2013, but revealed that the step into coaching hasn’t been as natural to him as playing tennis was.

He continued: “It’s a steep learning curve for me as well.

“Obviously there are a lot of things that as a player you know, [but] things are different when you’re coaching.

“There’s a lot more that you need to help with in terms of communication around the team.

“You’re not just thinking about yourself like you are when you’re a player.

“I’ve certainly learned a lot but there’s a lot more still for me to learn, that’s for sure.”
