Novak Djokovic‘s 2025 season promises to be unforgettable, with the potential of clinching his 25th Grand Slam title. Despite maintaining peak physical condition through his disciplined lifestyle, age is catching up as he approaches 40. Djokovic has often dismissed retirement talks, but it’s evident that the end of his career might not be far off.
In a surprising twist, Djokovic has teamed up with Andy Murray as his new coach. This unexpected partnership will debut at the 2025 Australian Open, where Djokovic aims for his 11th Melbourne victory and another Grand Slam win. Nicolas Mahut expressed surprise over this collaboration but also excitement about seeing two tennis legends join forces.
Unexpected Alliances:
Fans might think this is a bold move by Djokovic to reignite his chances on the court. Mahut compared this duo to past iconic partnerships like when Novak worked with Andre Agassi or Roger Federer paired with Stefan Edberg. He believes such collaborations are thrilling and beneficial for both players involved.

Recently, Djokovic’s prospects for another Grand Slam seemed dimmer than in previous years. In 2024, he didn’t secure any major titles due to rising stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominating the scene. However, Mahut feels that Murray’s addition could revitalize Djokovic’s game.
“I was a bit surprised,” Mahut admitted about Murray joining Djokovic’s team. “But now I have hope we’ll see a great Novak again.” He further noted how athletes sometimes need external motivation when internal drive wanes—a fresh perspective can spark new energy.
Murray understands overcoming challenges against all odds; this experience could prove invaluable for Djokovic in upcoming matches. The true test will come during the Australian Open in 2025—will their partnership pay off? What do you think?
