Novak Djokovic announced that he will continue without a coach after recently parting ways with Andy Murray, stating, "At the moment, I'm not in need of a coach. I don't need to rush in any context. I feel comfortable with the people around me." This decision comes as Djokovic prepares for the French Open, where he aims for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title, following a six-month partnership with Murray which he describes as productive but ultimately limited on-court, according to BBC and Reuters.
Despite the end of the partnership, Djokovic expressed increased respect for Murray, noting, "My respect towards Andy remains the same, even more actually, I got to know him as a person." The decision to part ways appears amicable, and Djokovic is focused on his upcoming matches, particularly as he seeks to regain his form after a challenging start to the clay season, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.
This season has been tough for Djokovic on clay, with early exits in both the Monte Carlo Masters and the Madrid Open, leading to concerns about his performance level. Djokovic's commitment to building his form is evident as he aims to perform at the necessary level for Roland Garros, which commences this Sunday, according to BBC, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.
