Novak Djokovic broke off his player-coach partnership with Andy Murray as he could not get any more out of it.

The Serbian had been coached by Murray for six months before they agreed to part ways, with the Serbian failing to win a tournament during their partnership.

"We felt like we couldn't get more out of that partnership on the court, and that's all there is to it," he said at a press conference in Geneva, as quoted by BBC Sport.

"My respect towards Andy remains the same, even more actually, I got to know him as a person.

"I think he has a brilliant tennis IQ, he has a very rare mind of a champion that obviously has achieved what he has achieved, and he sees the game incredibly well."

Djokovic has not yet won a match on clay in 2025, though he faces Marton Fucsovics in the round of 16 at the Geneva Open on Wednesday.

Joining the 37-year-old's team is Dusan Vemic, who was previously part of his coaching setup, and assistant coach and analyst Boris Bosnjakovic.

"At the moment, I'm not in need of a coach," said Djokovic. "I don't need to rush in any context. I feel comfortable with the people around me.

"In the next few tournaments, we'll see what happens."

With the French Open set to get under way on Monday, Djokovic has an opportunity to go clear of Margaret Court (24) for the all-time record for grand slam titles.

But with just three titles at the French Open, it is his least successful major.

"It's a different chapter of my life that I'm trying to navigate myself through," he said.

"I'm not particularly used to having these kind of circumstances where I would lose consecutive matches, tournaments, first rounds and so forth.

"I don't think it ever happened for me in the last 20 years. But I knew that eventually that moment will come.

"I'm trying to do well, I'm trying to win more trophies, I'm trying to build my form for Roland Garros, and perform at the desired, necessary level in order to go far in the tournament and challenge the best players in the world.

"So yes, the motivation is still there."
