Murray replied with a tongue in cheek remark and said: “One thing I won’t miss is the food. He was always trying to get me to eat vegan. Man, I don’t want air sandwiches and chickpeas for every meal.”
Djokovic also shared his views on calling time on the partnership and, as quoted by BBC, said: “We felt like we couldn’t get more out of that partnership on the court, and that’s all there is to it. 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, with Murray, reached the semis of Australian Open 2025 before losing it. He then suffered a loss of form and exited next four of five tournaments played in the first round. In the fifth tournament, Miami Open, he was beaten in the final by 19-year-old Jakub Mensik.
