Djokovic confirmed that he and Andy Murray have mutually agreed to end their coaching partnership ahead of the French Open. The former world number one announced via a statement on social media that the partnership would not be continuing following the clay court season. Djokovic further added that he will be taking a short break from tennis until the grass court season, highlighting the importance of "renewing, resetting, and recovering" ahead of the upcoming milestones.

This comes as a surprise as the pair seemed to have a fruitful partnership, with Murray himself stating that working with Djokovic was a super enjoyable experience, and expressing hope that they would work together in the future.

This split may be a strategic move by Djokovic to refresh his game and regain his top form ahead of the grass court season. The Serbian superstar has won none of his last six tournaments.

The French Open, a prestigious event and Djokovic's best chance yet to win his 21st major title, will begin on Sunday. Only time will tell what effects this breakup will have on Djokovic's performance as he will be under more pressure than ever to perform.
