Serbian star Novak Djokovic, who recently languished after a three-game losing streak, ended his contract with coach Andy Murray.

Djokovic said through his social media on the 14th Beijing time: "Thank you to Coach Andy for his hard work. The last 6 months have had a great time on and off the pitch and our friendship seems to have grown stronger. ”
Djokovic, who was born in 1987, and Murray were fierce rivals when Murray was active, and Murray, who retired last year, became Djokovic's coach since November, turning into a "partner" relationship.
But during Murray's tenure as Djokovic's coach, Djokovic failed to win the trophy and was stopped in the semifinals of the Australian Open in January. Finally, about 10 days before the opening of the French Open, the second Grand Slam tournament of the season, Djokovic sorted out the clues and business relationships.
Murray also cheered on Djokovic: "Thank you to Novak, who gave me the opportunity to work together. Hopefully we will have good results in the rest of the season in the future. ”
Djokovic, who began his recent defeat in the men's singles final at the Miami Open, was eliminated in the first set at both the Monte Carlo and Madrid Masters, suffering a three-game losing streak.
Djokovic will play in the ATP Tour's Geneva Open, which opens on the 18th, and then the French Open, which kicks off on the 25th. Djokovic has won the French Open three times, in 2016, 2021 and 2023. At last year's French Open, he reached the quarterfinals and won the singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics, which were held at the same venue as the French Open.
