The announcement comes merely two weeks ahead of the 2025 Roland Garros Championships &ndash; a crucial tournament for Djokovic. As the Serbian legend possibly nears the culmination of an illustrious career, his immediate future remains blurry at the moment.<\/p><p>Djokovic, who has been struggling with form in 2025, continues his quest for a 100th <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tennis\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>tour-level<\/a> title. The 37-year-old reached the final of the Miami Masters, but fell short against Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic. Murray, who retired from professional tennis last year, agreed to coach the &lsquo;Djoker&rsquo; for an indefinite period which included the clay court season. However, it hasn&rsquo;t been the stint either of the Grand Slam champions would have hoped for.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun &amp; support over last six months on &amp; off the court.
