Novak Djokovic is looking forward to continuing his partnership with coach Andy Murray as they head into the French Open and Wimbledon. Murray has been by Djokovic’s side at Indian Wells and will also be part of his team at the Miami Open later this month. The duo first teamed up during Djokovic’s run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open earlier this year.
At the Australian Open, Djokovic defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals but had to withdraw from the semi-final match against Alexander Zverev due to a hamstring injury. Despite the setback, Djokovic credits Murray for helping him play some of his best tennis in quite some time during the tournament.
Djokovic expressed his enjoyment of working with Murray, stating that they are still in the process of getting to know each other on the court in a different way than before. He acknowledges that it is a new role for Murray and that they are both exploring how to excel in it.
Speaking about Murray’s extended coaching role, Djokovic expressed his happiness that Murray agreed to continue working with him. He values the partnership and believes it has had a positive impact on his game.
As Djokovic gears up for the Indian Wells tournament, he is confident that his injury issues are behind him. After a disappointing first-round exit at the Qatar Open, he believes he is fully recovered and ready to face Botic van de Zanschulp in the second round at Indian Wells. Djokovic is also looking forward to playing the ‘Sunshine Double’ by participating in both Indian Wells and the Miami Open for the first time in six years.
Despite not performing well at Indian Wells and Miami in recent years, Djokovic is determined to go deep in the tournament this time around. He acknowledges that he is not getting any younger but believes he has done the right things in preparation for the upcoming events.
In conclusion, Djokovic is optimistic about his partnership with Murray and his prospects in the upcoming tournaments. With Murray by his side, he hopes to continue his success on the court and make a strong comeback after his injury setback.
