Novak Djokovic says he is in no hurry to find a new coach ahead of the French Open after parting ways with Andy Murray last week, Afrosport reports.
The 24-year-old Grand Slam champion decided to severe ties with former British number one following his tough start to the 2025 tennis season, failing to win any title since his Olympic gold medal in Paris last year.
Djokovic suffered second-round exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid but will be hoping to win his first major of the year at Roland Garros, where he is a three-time winner.
“At the moment, I’m not in need of a coach,” he said. “I don’t need to rush in any context. I feel comfortable with the people around me … in the next few tournaments, and we’ll see what happens.”
He added: “We felt like we couldn’t get more out of that partnership on the court, and that’s all there is to it.
“My respect towards Andy remains the same, even more actually, I got to know him as a person.
“I think he has a brilliant tennis IQ, he has a very rare mind of a champion that obviously has achieved what he has achieved, and he sees the game incredibly well.”
Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun & support over last six months on & off the court. I really enjoyed deepening our friendship together
