After Novak Djokovic ended a successful partnership with coach Goran Ivanisevic earlier this year, the tennis community was eagerly waiting to hear about who would join the Serb’s entourage next. Some even thought not hiring a coach was a reason behind Djokovic’s poor season, for he could grab just the Olympic gold medal in Paris, ending the reason with no trophy on the ATP Tour.

After Djokovicshocked the tennis world by announcing a new coach, something no one had foreseen, Jelena Djokovic joined the discussion and joked about it. The Serbian has hired his longtime rival Andy Murray as his coach.

Murray hung up his racket about four months ago and picked up a golf club, but now he’s back to tennis again. In the video that Novak shared on his social media to announce the news, he simply joked that Murray “never liked retirement anyway.”

As the video sent shockwaves across the tennis world, Jelena pulled fans’ legs and asked whether they thought Djokovic was announcing his retirement.
