Andy Murray told he was on hiding to nothing with Novak Djokovic as tennis legend wades in
Former Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick believes Sir Andy Murray’s role as Novak Djokovic’s coach was doomed from the beginning. Before the Australian Open, the two-time Wimbledon winner was brought into Djokovic’s team in a move that surprised the tennis world.
Initially, Djokovic, 37, was complimentary towards the Brit’s involvement, particularly when he got all the way to the quarter-final in Melbourne, before retiring against Alexander Zverev with an injury. After the Grand Slam, they decided to extend their work together until Wimbledon. However, after a run of three consecutive defeats in the build-up to the Miami Open – where he was then defeated in the final by Jakub Mensik – was followed by early exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid, the writing was on the wall for their work together.
