Novak Djokovic recently expressed concern about his new coach, Andy Murray, following Murray’s ski trip ahead of their partnership for the 2025 tennis season. Murray, who retired from professional tennis in 2024, was spotted enjoying a ski vacation, sparking light-hearted worry from Djokovic about his new mentor’s adventurous choice of offseason activity.
In a playful interview, Djokovic joked, “I’m just hoping Andy doesn’t pick up any injuries before the season starts. I’ve been looking forward to having him in my corner, but I might have to remind him that skiing isn’t part of the training plan!” Despite the joke, Djokovic’s comments reflect a genuine concern about Murray staying fit and healthy as they begin working together.
Murray’s move into coaching after his successful playing career has been met with excitement, especially as he takes on the challenge of working with Djokovic, a longtime rival and friend. Both players have a deep mutual respect, and Murray’s experience as a former world No. 1 and multiple Grand Slam winner is expected to bring a fresh perspective to Djokovic’s game as he continues to chase further tennis glory.
Djokovic’s light-hearted comments about Murray’s ski trip reflect the camaraderie between the two, but also highlight the importance of staying injury-free, particularly with the demands of coaching at the highest level. As the 2025 season approaches, Djokovic is eager to have Murray’s insight and experience to help him navigate another competitive year on tour.
