Novak Djokovic has pledged to continue his pursuit of a record-breaking 25th grand slam title despite suffering a hamstring injury that forced his withdrawal from the Australian Open semi-final. The focus now shifts to the future of his partnership with recently-retired Andy Murray, who served as his coach for the tournament. Both Djokovic and Murray acknowledged the need to discuss their next steps after the 'hot-headed' disappointment of the Serb's injury exit.
Novak Djokovic has vowed to continue his hunt for a record-breaking 25th grand slam title as he reflects on his premature end to the Australian Open through injury. But whether Andy Murray continues as a key figure in Djokovic’s hunt for major crowns remains to be seen, with the former rivals set to discuss the future of their high-profile union.
Djokovic leaves the court to boos after shock retirement. Djokovic shocked the tennis world last year when he appointed recently-retired Murray as his coach on a short-term agreement through to the end of his Open campaign. The partnership had been one of the biggest talking points at Melbourne Park throughout Djokovic’s quest for an 11th Open crown and remained so after the Serb’s abrupt withdrawal from his semi-final against Alexander Zverev after losing a draining first set.
