Judy Murray has an impressive coaching pedigree
Judy Murray, the mother of tennis star Andy Murray, is reportedly being considered as a potential coach for Novak Djokovic. The world No1 recently parted ways with his long-time coach Goran Ivanisevic after a lackluster start to the year. Judy Murray, known for her impressive coaching pedigree, is being eyed as a potential candidate to assist Djokovic in his career.
“It’s no secret that Judy Murray has a wealth of experience and knowledge in coaching, and her son Andy has been a fierce rival of Djokovic for many years,” a source revealed. “Novak is reportedly considering seeking help from Judy as he looks to make a change in his coaching setup.”
Judy Murray, 64, has established herself as a well-respected coach, having captained Great Britain’s Fed Cup team from 2011 to 2016 and worked extensively with British tennis’ governing body, the LTA. Despite a successful junior and senior playing career in Scotland during the 1970s, Judy decided to pursue coaching after facing challenges in her professional playing career.
In contrast, Djokovic had an extraordinary 2023 season, clinching a record 24 Grand Slam titles by winning the Australian Open, French Open, and US Open. However, his performance this year has been subpar, with early exits at tournaments such as the Australian Open and Indian Wells.

Nole has been struggling on the court
“Novak’s recent struggles on the court have led to speculation about potential changes in his coaching team,” the source added. “The tension that emerged with his coaches at Melbourne Park was particularly telling, indicating that a change might be necessary for him to regain his form.”
The potential collaboration between Judy Murray and Novak Djokovic comes at a crucial time for both individuals. While Djokovic aims to bounce back from his recent setbacks and maintain his status as the world’s top-ranked player, Andy Murray has hinted at the possibility of retiring from professional tennis due to ongoing injuries.
As the tennis world awaits further developments on Djokovic’s coaching situation, the prospect of Judy Murray joining forces with the Serbian star has sparked interest and speculation among fans and experts alike.
