“Thanks to Novak for the unbelievable opportunity to work together, and thanks to his team for all their hard work over the past six months,” said Murray. “I wish Novak all the best for the rest of the season,” he added.

After ending the 2024 season without a single title, except the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, he has continued to struggle so far in 2025 as well. His most recent came hat-trick of first round defeats in the ATP tournaments where he is looking to secure his 100th ATP title.
