Andy Murray has weighed in on whether he thinks Novak Djokovic could add another Grand Slam title to his collection.

The two teamed up for the first half of the 2025 season, with Murray taking on a coaching role for Djokovic during that time.

While the partnership got off to a promising start with a semi-final run at the Australian Open, things didn’t hold up as well through the clay court swing, and they eventually decided to go their separate ways.

While Djokovic has already secured more Grand Slam singles titles than anyone else in the Open Era, much of the discussion now centres on whether he can reach a 25th major, which would put him ahead of Margaret Court.

The 38-year-old didn’t make a final last year, but after defeating Jannik Sinner, Djokovic was back in the Australian Open final this January, where he fell to Carlos Alcaraz.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Murray was asked whether he believes Djokovic can claim that elusive 25th Slam.

Murray didn’t rule it out but pointed to several factors that could stand in the way.

“I think that he can,” said Murray. “The difficulty is when you get to the age that he’s at if you play too much tennis you risk injury or not being fresh for the majors but then if you’re not competing enough and your body is not match-hardened and ready to play seven matches across two weeks it is also very difficult physically.”

“It has to be perfect preparation with enough match play and enough training but you could see at the Australian Open with the results that he had beating Alcaraz last year and beating Sinner this year that he still has the potential to do it.”
