Andy Murray has officially parted ways with Novak Djokovic, with the duo splitting shortly before the French Open.

Djokovic is playing an ATP 250 event in Geneva before taking on Roland Garros, having decided to skip the Italian Open.

Murray has been thanked by Djokovic after the conclusion of their partnership, which started at the 2025 Australian Open.

Djokovic failed to win an ATP Tour title under the guidance of Murray, who was once one of his rivals on the court.

He will continue his search for a 100th title and first since the 2024 Olympics in Geneva, with the Serbian then taking on the French Open.

Andy Murray ‘highly unlikely’ to coach Emma Raducanu

Also playing another event before the French Open is Emma Raducanu, who has accepted a wildcard for next week’s WTA 500 event in Strasbourg.

She did play at the Italian Open, with the former British number one losing her round of 16 clash with Coco Gauff.

And given both her coaching issues and Murray’s availability, a link-up between the British duo was seemingly on the cards.

But the Telegraph has reported that the Scot is ‘highly unlikely’ to develop a Wimbledon partnership with Raducanu.

And that is due to former British number one Mark Petchey making himself available to coach the WTA number 49 for the entire grass-court swing.

He has worked with Raducanu during her last three tournaments, and plans to have no distractions in the near future to continue their relationship.

Despite winning the 2021 US Open, Raducanu hasn’t really managed to catch a break with injuries in her relatively brief career so far.

But her coaching struggles have been equally notable, with the Briton now without a full-time coach since January.

Back then, Nick Cavaday stood down for health reasons, before the former WTA number 10 carried out a two-week trial with Vladimir Platenik.

Nigel Sears, Andrew Richardson, Torben Beltz, Dmitry Tursunov and Sebastian Sachs are among her other former coaches, even though she is only 22 years old.

Given his success and indeed his work with Djokovic, Murray would seemingly be a welcome addition for the player.

But it remains to be seen exactly what both want at this stage, while their interesting recent history an added factor, with the pair having planned to play mixed doubles at Wimbledon last year, only for Raducanu to withdraw at the last minute.
