**Djokovic and Murray End Coaching Partnership Ahead of French Open**

Paris, France – Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have unexpectedly parted ways, bringing their six-month coaching collaboration to an abrupt end just weeks before the start of the French Open. The split, announced Tuesday, comes as a surprise after Djokovic brought Murray, his long-time rival, onto his coaching team in November.

While the partnership initially showed promise, with Djokovic securing a win at the Australian Open, recent struggles on the court have plagued the Serbian star, including early exits in his last two tournaments.

“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 stated. “I wish Novak all the best for the rest of the season.”

Djokovic reciprocated the positive sentiment, saying, “Thank you, coach Andy, for all the hard work, fun, and support over the last six months on and off the court, really enjoyed deepening our friendship together.”

The unexpected separation leaves Djokovic without a coach as he prepares for Roland Garros, where he’ll be seeking to regain his form and add to his record 24 Grand Slam titles. The French Open begins May 25th.
