Six months later the employment relationship between the Serbian champion and his old rival ends. Rent, after skipping Rome, will go to Geneva without coach
They had to be in Wimbledon together, but they will not even arrive at Roland Garros as a team. Djokovic and Murray, the most surprising couple of this start of the season, separate. The Serbian on his social profiles announces it: “Thanks, coach Andy, for the hard work, fun, support in the last six months inside and off the pitch. It has been nice to deepen our friendship”. Thus ends a relationship that had started shortly before the Australian Open, where the twenty -four Slam champion went to the semifinal, before retiring against Sascha Zverev. From Melbourne, however, only ruinous falls for Nole: three out of four Masters 1000 from 2025 and Rome raised the white flag. And now he looks for the turning point before landing in Paris.
The escape to Geneva
–
The former number one was looking for in the British tennis player, rival, friend and then coach, the push necessary to obtain one of the last records to beat and break down: the number 100 title. He jumped Rome, the red land where he has won six times in his career, but he will not arrive in Paris without matches in the legs. As last year, Djokovic accepted a Wild Card for the Geneva Tournament, the 250 that is played before the Open of France. In Switzerland, he will go hunting for the trophy that would make him go in a triple figure like only two in history: Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer. For the first time in the season, however, without coach and without Murray by his side.
