Andy Murray does not forget his brief but intense time as coach of Novak Djokovic. Although this historic duo did not meet expectations and only lasted five months, the image of the Serbian under the guidance of one of his greatest tennis rivals will always remain in memory. And for the Scotsman as well.

Since then, the three-time Grand Slam champion has not taken on any coaching projects or anything related to tennis. Now his life revolves around his family and golf, but the itch to return to the circuit is resurfacing, and the Scotsman assures that sooner or later he will return to the courts. This is what he stated in an interview with Sky Sports.

Andy Murray and his fond memory as Novak Djokovic's coach

The former world number one for 41 weeks answered Djokovic's call in November 2024. This unexpected union caught everyone off guard, especially considering that Murray had retired a few months earlier at the Paris 2024 Olympics. But reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open and the final of the Miami Open were the best results of the Serbian-Scottish pair.

Nevertheless, Murray has a great memory of those months: "I know Djokovic's game very well since I competed against him for years and studied his game. It was interesting for me to compare his daily routines with mine when I was a tennis player," but he made one thing clear: "Djokovic probably didn't learn anything from me, but I learned a lot from him."

Training and analyzing one of your main rivals in almost 20 years of career helped the Scotsman better understand himself: "I understood my weaknesses because when you work with someone as exceptional as him, you learn what you need to improve if you want to become a great coach. I put a lot of effort into this work, even sacrificing my free time to analyze the videos. Although we didn't have great success, it was an incredible experience. I'm very glad I did it."

No rush to return to coaching

After more than 20 years immersed in the world of tennis and its intense schedule, Murray left the racket and coaching for a long period. But now, just a year after his experience with Djokovic ended, he doesn't feel 100% prepared to return to the fray, despite having received several offers.

"I've already received some calls to work with some players, but I still don't want to travel much, unless it's with my family," pointed out Andy Murray, who couldn't start his coaching career as he would have liked, but he did so with the best possible player.
