Novak Djokovic has revealed that he is in no rush to find a new coach after splitting with Andy Murray, while preparing for what should be his first clay-court win this season ahead of the French Open. The 24-time Grand Slam champion parted ways with Murray last week after a string of early outbursts in 2024.
Speaking in Geneva ahead of his opener against Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics, Djokovic said, “At the moment, I’m not in need of a coach… I feel comfortable with the people around me.” They include Dusan Vemic and assistant coach Boris Bosnjakovic, who will be guiding him through the tournament.
Djokovic stated that he has appreciated the beauty of working alongside Murray for a short period, citing his profound tennis IQ and champion mindset as key reasons for his esteem. The Serbian icon will turn 38 this week and is chasing a landmark 100th ATP title, yet he has secured zero wins on clay this year after first-round losses in Monte Carlo and Madrid.
Dwelling on the French Open, Djokovic stated that the will to win is still there. “I’m trying to build form for Roland Garros… and challenge the best,” he said. He insists that the game is still there for him to challenge at the highest levels despite the drawbacks.
