Novak Djokovic’s wife’s brilliant seven-word response to Andy Murray bombshell
Jelena Djokovic jumped to the wrong conclusion.
It seems the shock news that Andy Murray will be coaching Novak Djokovic through to the Australian Open caught everyone off guard, including the Serbian’s wife. In a stunning development, it was confirmed on Saturday afternoon that the two former players would be working together both in the off-season and the first Grand Slam of 2025.
Murray, 37, retired from playing following the 2024 Paris Olympics, and has since regularly spoken about his extra family time.
And his decision to help his fellow member of the fabled ‘big four’ was met with surprise by fans online, not least of all Jelena Djokovic.
As well as an official statement, Djokovic took to Instagram to post a video of the two rivals together over the years. It included footage of their six Grand Slam final meetings, four of which came in Melbourne and were all won by Djokovic, and the caption: “He never liked retirement anyway.”
But while a number of his 16.5million followers reacted with euphoria and simple emojis, Jelena took a different tact. “Anyone thought it was a retirement video?” she asked.
Also 37, Djokovic will be chasing a record-extending 11th Australian Open title in January. He is also one shy of 25 Grand Slam titles, which would elevate him above Margaret Court.
