Andy Murray coaching doubts raised as Novak Djokovic rivals can throw plans into disarray

John McEnroe has questioned whether Andy Murray will want to continue coaching in tennis if his stint working alongside Novak Djokovic ends badly.

The tennis world was sent into a state of shock when Murray announced his intention to join Djokovic’s coaching team just months after the three-time Grand Slam champion hung up his racket.

Speaking ahead of the Australian Open, McEnroe mused: “This thing with Murray and Djokovic, especially if Djokovic wins they’ll be like ‘wow this is incredible’ and I’m sure he’ll be flooded with coaching requests.

“If it doesn’t work out, say Djokovic loses in the QF or SF, they decide not to continue, would Murray want to coach someone else?”
