‘Bu***hit!’– Top analyst dismisses Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray suggestion
Mark Petchy states it is b **** hit to recommend that Novak Djokovic hiring Andy Murray is an indicator that the Serbian is ‘winding down’ his job.
Murray surprised the tennis globe by signing up with Djokovic’s mentoring group for 2025, beginning with the Australian Open.
Djokovic himself states having an instructor that recognizes the stress he is encountering on top of the game is the believing behind the step, although couple of anticipated Murray to begin his blog post- having fun job by mentoring among his most significant opponents.
However, both were constantly huge close friends off the court regardless of their relentless fights on it, and Petchy, that trained Murray throughout the Brit’s very early job, states there is a whole lot much more as well this tale than simply 2 close friends connecting for a laugh.
“Knowing Andy as well as I do, there’s no question that he will already be going through Novak’s matches from this year with a fine tooth comb, the battles that he’s had with Carlos [Alcaraz] and Jannik [Sinner] and what’s worked but what hasn’t worked,” Petchy informed Betway.
“I’ve seen people say this is Novak at the end of his career kind of winding down potentially by hiring a mate. That’s absolute bullshit. Andy is not wired that way. He wouldn’t let me beat him in a video game.

“He will not go into Australia with Djokovic if it isn’t to win another Australian Open, his 25th Major and a record 11th Australian Open.”
What Murray would certainly do after having fun has actually constantly been the topic of solid supposition. Many believed he would certainly get in the media, while others recommended he would certainly train an increasing British celebrity like Jack Draper or Emma Raducanu.
Petchy, however, thinks Murray is complying with the plan of one more of his previous instructors– Ivan Lendl.
“This is a great challenge for Andy,” he stated. “This for most of these great champions is a period of going into the void, trying to figure out how he can find some value in his life. It’s very tough for a lot of these great champions to do that.
“They can never recreate what they had, never relive those emotions that he would have had on Centre Court or at Flushing Meadows, or in the Davis Cup.
“Some former players, like Ivan Lendl, have found solace in golf and there are a lot of similarities in Ivan’s career and the way that Andy is probably going to be in his retirement.
“Ivan has obviously been the greatest influence on Andy’s career and there’s a blueprint there for Andy as he goes through the rest of his life.”
