The media impact generated by the professional union of Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray is enormous, and reactions continue to unfold. One of the most significant comes from Nenad Zimonjic, a close friend of the Serbian, whom he has advised at various stages, such as in the months leading up to the Olympic event in 2024.

Former world doubles number 1, Nenad Zimonjic is clear in his judgment about this new player-coach partnership. Zimonjic knows Novak Djokovic well, having been a timely support that the Balkan tennis player has clung to on several occasions. His experience, excellent game reading, and ability to stay at the top for a long time were crucial in aiding Novak, who, in 2025, sought something different. The former doubles specialist has positive expectations about the role Andy Murray can play with him, as he expresses in an interview for Ubitennis.

- Zimonjic explains the reasons why he believes Murray can thrive as Djokovic's coach

"Novak is very intelligent when making important decisions, and his professional career proves that. He always trusted me in moments when he needed the help of someone close he could rely on. I think Andy Murray can perform this role very effectively because they know each other well, have similar playing styles, and tactically, the Scotsman was one of the best in the world. Everything he has experienced in his career can greatly help him in his new role. I believe this relationship could work well," he stated.

When asked about the expectations and reasons behind Novak Djokovic's surprising decision, Nenad Zimonjic is firm. "He always has ambitious goals, and right now, his main aim is to win another Grand Slam. He knows he can achieve it, and currently, I see him much more motivated than at the beginning of 2024. He was lost in his game, lacked ambition, but we were able to work well on various aspects before the Olympics, and the results showed. I hope things go very well for Murray as a coach," argued the Serbian former doubles player.
