Former British professional tennis player, Andy Murray will no longer be working as coach of the Novak Djokovic.
The decision, said to be by mutual agreement, means Murray will not be by Djokovic’s side when he chases an eighth Wimbledon title in July.
Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, joined forces with Murray in November.
Under Murray, the Serb reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, ultimately retiring injured after losing the first set.
The 37-year-old has had a difficult season by his high standards, losing his first match in four of his past five tournaments, as well as being beaten in the Miami Open final by 19-year-old Jakub Mensik.
“Thank you, Coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun and support over last six months on and off the court – really enjoyed deepening our friendship together,” Djokovic said.
“Thanks to Novak for the unbelievable opportunity to work together, and thanks to his team for all their hard work over the past six months,” Murray added.
“I wish Novak all the best for the rest of the season.”
For all the promise of Melbourne, the Murray-Djokovic partnership ultimately lasted only four tournaments.
Murray was present in Miami, where Djokovic reached the final without dropping a set before losing to Mensik in two close tie-breakers.
Djokovic has taken a wildcard into next week’s Geneva Open, having so far failed to win a match on clay this year.
The three-time French Open champion was beaten in the first round of the Monte Carlo Masters as the clay-court swing began and missed this month’s Italian Open without giving a reason for his absence.
