I have no idea where Murray is’: Novak Djokovic Brings Onboard New Coach Amid Andy Murray’s Absence
“I Have No Idea,” Novak Djokovic Shockingly Admits to Coach Andy Murray’s Absence Amidst Monte Carlo Preparations
As the Monte-Carlo Masters draws near, the spotlight has unexpectedly shifted away from the clay courts and onto an unfolding mystery involving British tennis icon Andy Murray. Amid growing speculation about Murray’s unexplained absence from the tournament build-up, Novak Djokovic made a surprising revelation during a pre-tournament press conference.
When asked whether he had any insight into Murray’s whereabouts, Djokovic responded candidly: “I have no idea. Honestly, I wish I did. We were supposed to hit together earlier this week, but plans just… changed. No one really knows what’s going on.”
The Serbian world No. 1, who shares a longstanding rivalry and mutual respect with Murray, appeared visibly concerned while answering. His statement comes as the tennis world continues to wonder why Murray—once confirmed to participate—has not been seen around the Monte-Carlo Country Club or in any official tournament events.
What has raised further eyebrows is Murray’s role as a part-time coach and mentor to some younger British players. Sources had speculated he might also be providing informal coaching advice during the clay swing—possibly even assisting Djokovic on the mental side of the game, as the two have occasionally shared practice courts in recent years.
With no confirmation from Murray’s team or ATP officials, rumors are swirling—from a potential last-minute injury to personal matters. However, nothing has been substantiated.
“I hope everything is okay with him,” Djokovic added. “He’s a fighter, and a good man. Whether he’s playing or coaching or just being Andy, he’s always part of the tennis world.”
The ATP and Murray’s camp have yet to issue a formal statement, fueling even more intrigue. Meanwhile, players are continuing preparations as normal, albeit with a noticeable void in the familiar Monte Carlo routine.
For now, all anyone can do is speculate—and wait.
