Roland Garros 2025 is just around the corner, Paris is getting ready for the second Grand Slam of the season, and Amelie Mauresmo, former tennis player and tournament director, has given her opinion on Novak Djokovic's real chances of achieving his 25th Grand Slam title. However, to the disappointment of the Frenchwoman, he will now attempt it without Andy Murray as his coach. She discussed Djokovic's chances and the split from the Scotsman in an interview with Eurosport France, which was covered by TNT Sports.

The tournament director is optimistic about Djokovic's participation in the Geneva ATP: "He will try to play some matches there, to try to feel a bit more confident in his game and mentally as well. So, he remains quite motivated to play in Geneva and come here with, hopefully, a few matches under his belt. Perhaps he arrives here not with high expectations, but you can never rule him out from the list of contenders, that's for sure."

Missing Murray

Mauresmo had hoped to see Andy Murray on Djokovic's coaching bench, but less than a month ago he stopped being his coach: "I don't know why they stopped with Andy, honestly. But I'm glad Murray had this experience with Novak. I think you also learn a lot about yourself when you're on the other side of the fence. I would have loved to see both of them here working together. I would have liked to witness this here at Roland Garros. But it's okay, it's how it had to be."

After expressing her regret, Mauresmo talked about this historic duo that lasted only five months: "This decision doesn't surprise me. We can talk about when it was made. We thought maybe they would go together to Wimbledon. This is what they said after the Australian Open: 'We will discuss it and if we still want to collaborate'."

She also took the opportunity to give her opinion on the reasons for the split: "The truth is that Djokovic knew that Andy Murray would be helpful, but it was also to bring something fresh, something to be able to tell himself: 'with Andy Murray, I have to find this motivation, offer him my motivation'. Probably, he thinks about this motivation, and that's why he made this decision now," considers Mauresmo, who is getting ready for two weeks full of tennis in Paris, not ruling out Djokovic but missing Murray.
