Novak Djokovic Reunites With Andy Murray Ahead of Madrid Open Comeback
Novak Djokovic has reunited with long-time friend and former rival Andy Murray as he prepares to make his return at the 2025 Madrid Open. The reunion comes at a critical time for Djokovic, who has had a rocky start to the season and is looking to regain form on the clay courts.
Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, has faced mounting speculation about his ability to add another major title to his resume. Former American pro John Isner recently commented on Djokovic’s chances, saying:
“I hope I’m wrong, but it seems like Novak has just two realistic chances left — Wimbledon and the US Open. If he serves like he did in Miami, he absolutely can win Wimbledon.”
Djokovic’s presence at the Madrid Open marks his return following a brief hiatus after the Miami Open. His reunion with Murray, who is not officially coaching him but has been seen on court offering support and sharing practice time, has caught the attention of tennis fans. The two veterans share a long history — once fierce competitors, they now appear to be collaborating in a mentor-like capacity.
As the clay season ramps up, all eyes will be on Djokovic to see whether this new chapter in his preparation can deliver results on the road to Roland Garros.
