British tennis legend Andy Murray admitted on Monday that he was “disappointed” with Novak Djokovic’s results during his brief stint as the Serbian star’s coach.

Murray joined Djokovic’s coaching team in November 2024, just three months after retiring from professional play at the Paris Olympics. Their collaboration lasted around six months, spanning the 2025 Australian Open and three additional tournaments.

“Looking back, I’m glad I did it,” Murray told The Tennis Podcast. “It was an amazing experience. It didn’t last long, but I put everything into it. I was disappointed — probably didn’t get the results I would have liked for him.

“But it was a great opportunity. I felt I wanted to coach at some stage, and if I hadn’t taken it, I might have regretted it, thinking, ‘It would have been really interesting; I could have learned a lot,’” added Murray, who won three Grand Slam singles titles during an era dominated by Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal.

Djokovic defeated Carlos Alcaraz to reach the Australian Open semi-finals but was forced to retire injured in his last-four match against Alexander Zverev. The 38-year-old then struggled in his return, suffering first-round losses in Qatar and Indian Wells before falling to Czech teenager Jakub Mensik in the Miami Open final.

“It started well, and it was unfortunate what happened in Australia with the injury. He played ridiculous tennis in that tournament,” Murray said. “Afterwards, it was certainly a tough few months for him and the whole team.

“I learned a lot about what coaching involves. I was fully invested, tried my hardest to help, and built some great relationships with his team along the way.”

Murray, who has four children with his wife Kim, said he is enjoying retirement.

“I honestly didn’t know what retirement would be like. I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it or miss tennis, or how I would fill my days. I was a bit nervous,” he admitted.

“But I know I retired at the right time. I have no regrets. I love being a dad, and spending time at home with the kids is brilliant.”
