British tennis legend Andy Murray has offered a humorous and insightful look back at his six-month stint as coach to Novak Djokovic, admitting the 24-time Grand Slam champion.
The English tennis icon hilariously stated that the Serbian learned nothing from him while revealing he gained valuable experience himself.
Murray reflects on coaching Novak Djokovic: 'Probably learnt nothing’
In a recent exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Murray described the role as demanding yet rewarding, highlighting the challenges of working with one of the game's greatest players. Murray said:
"Djokovic probably learned nothing [from me]."
The retired tennis played quickly added:
"No, I learned a lot and honestly, I would coach again but probably not right now.”
The partnership, which began in late 2024 shortly after Murray's retirement and included the 2025 Australian Open, ended by mutual agreement in May 2025.
Murray said he was "fully invested" in the position, even sacrificing personal time to analyze matches and send edited videos late at night.
While he expressed disappointment over the results during their time together, he stated the learning opportunity. He said to The Athletic's Tennis Podcast:
"It's an amazing experience that I've had. I look back on it and I'm glad that I did it."
Murray also noted the difficulties in communicating strategies to an elite athlete and observing Djokovic's rigorous daily routines and on-court execution.
The former world No. 1 added that the stint helped him identify his own strengths and weaknesses as a coach. Murray remains open to future coaching roles once family commitments allow, stating he would coach again and has already received other opportunities.
