What after the partnership between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic after leaving the Australian Open semi -final? | Tennis News

It was the partnership that shocked tennis.

Just months after Andy Murray ended his football career, in which he was a long competitor to Noveak Djokovic, he was appointed as a Serbian player in the Australian Open.

But with Djokovic’s exit now in Melbourne – Retirement It remains to see whether this alliance will continue.

Djokovic was not committed after his defeat, saying that the two men need “calm”.

He told reporters: “We were very disappointed about what had just happened, so we did not talk about future steps,” he told reporters.

“I will definitely speak with Andy and thank him for his presence here with me, and I will give him my comments, which is positive, of course. I will see how he feels and we will take the next step.”

Murray said: “We and Nvak agreed to speak after the tournament, and we will do that,” Murray said.

Does Murray continue to train Djokovic?

Murray pointed to spending more time with his family as something that he will enjoy after retiring from playing, saying: “I look forward to being with them at home constantly and not to explain to my children the reason for my departure.”

“They do not care about tennis, but they always ask when I go home. To be with them at home, do normal things. I get them to school, and take them. I love to exercise with them.”

Working full time with Djokovic would affect this, but given that the 24 -time championship champion plays with a limited time schedule, and gives priority to big events, the job may not be consumed by Mauri as is the case with other players.

Speaking when announcing the partnership at the beginning, Jonathan Overland of Sky Sports said: “Can Murray change the borders regarding what we consider the correct relationship between the player and the coach? Can he become more than just a remote -working consultant?”

The benefits that Djokovic will receive from keeping Murray’s services are many, including the fact that with a recently retiring from Scottish, he will have experience playing with most Djokovic opponents.

Murray also knows what is necessary to win the major championships, and most importantly, how to overcome Djokovic.

What did Murray added to the Djokovic match?

Since Murray-Diukovic’s partnership is very new, it is difficult to determine the exact extent of the British’s influence, but a quick look at the statistics indicates that Djokovic was more aggressive in Melbourne than in his four major contributions in the Great Slams in 2024.

The 37 -year -old strikes a greater number of overwhelming strikes in each match. This indicates, in addition to a slightly low transmission rate, to a more offensive mentality.

Djokovic also designed and converted more intermediate break points in the Australian Open.

He was noticeable in winning four groups over Carlos Carraz in the quarter -finals that he was playing quietly and sending and hitting the ball more, although this might be attributed to a leg injury he suffered, forcing him to change the tactic. .

What did Murray said about the experience?

Murray said: “It is a sharp educational curve for me. There are many things that you know as a player that differs when you train.

“There is a lot that you need to help in communicating with the team. You are not only thinking about yourself as you do when you are a player.

“I definitely learned, but there is a lot to learn, this is certain.

“I fully realize that the team with whom he did a great job for many years to allow it to continue the competition at this level in his current age.

“They really helped me, and they really welcomed me in the team. It was great to be part of them.

“I watched some wonderful tennis matches, and one of the best matches that I watched directly against Caraz.

He added: “Sometimes I feel somewhat embarrassed because of my relationship with Novak, or the frequent talk about that, or when there is a good result, it is because I helped him.”

If Djokovic is not, where is then?

Speaking last November, Overland felt that Murray would enjoy working with emerging players, especially the British, if he continued his training career.

Perhaps his Scottish teammate Jacob Vernelli – who included his rapid rise to qualify for the third round in Melbourne after beating Nick Kerius and Arthur Kazu -?

Emma Radocano is also looking for a new coach After separating from Nick Cavadai because of his health problems.

There is no remaining enmity From Murray to Radokano after withdrew from the mixed spouses’ competitions in Wimbledon last year to focus on the individual to deprive Murray from winning two grand slam titles and an Olympic gold medal.

“I sent him a long message, I apologize primarily if I caused any problem because this is definitely the last thing I want,” Radocano said.

He added: “He is a person who has grown up and I look forward to and I do not want any grief or harsh feelings with him. He dealt with it well and answered, saying that he is disappointed but he understands.”

They could not unify their efforts last summer, so what about him as a player and coach? It may seem unlikely, but that’s for Murray who coaches Djokovic. See this space …
