Former World No. 1 Mats Wilander shared his thoughts on Novak Djokovic’s decision to hire Andy Murray as his new coach. Wilander believes this move sends “a strong message” to Djokovic’s top rivals, including Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Djokovic surprised the tennis world by announcing the partnership in a video on social media. Murray will join Djokovic’s team ahead of the 2025 Australian Open. The news has created excitement among fans and experts alike.

Murray also spoke about the new role, saying he is thrilled to work with Djokovic. He will help the Serbian star prepare during the off-season. The three-time Grand Slam champion added that he looks forward to being on the “same side of the net” as Djokovic and helping him achieve his goals.

Novak Djokovic will play a farewell exhibition match with Juan Martin del Potro. Del Potro has admitted he feels “terrible” about retiring from tennis two years ago. The match will be a special moment for the former US Open champion.

Del Potro’s last official match was at the 2022 Argentina Open, where he faced Federico Delbonis. The event in Buenos Aires was filled with emotion as fans said goodbye to the former World No. 3. His career was affected by repeated injuries that required multiple surgeries.

The Argentine’s struggles began in 2019 when he injured his right knee after slipping at Queen’s Club. This happened a year after he won his only Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells. Despite his efforts, the injury ultimately ended his career.

Del Potro had four surgeries on his right knee between 2019 and 2021. He played his final tournament in 2022 but later revealed he secretly had two more surgeries, hoping to return. Unfortunately, the attempts were unsuccessful, and his comeback did not happen.
