Deal done: Andre Agassi’s ex-coach gives his verdict on Novak Djokovic hiring Andy Murray as new coach in blockbuster move….
The move of Novak Djokovic hiring Andy Murray as his new coach has sparked widespread interest in the tennis world, especially considering the historical rivalry and camaraderie between the two. While this is a hypothetical scenario (as of my last knowledge update in 2023), if it were to happen, Andre Agassi’s ex-coach, Brad Gilbert, would likely have strong opinions based on his deep understanding of both players.
Gilbert, who has worked with both Agassi and a variety of top tennis players, would probably view the move as a bold but strategically sound decision. Given Murray’s tactical intelligence and extensive experience at the highest level of tennis, he’d offer Djokovic a fresh perspective. Murray’s resilience and mental toughness could also complement Djokovic’s game, especially in moments of pressure, offering insights from a different viewpoint on court.
Gilbert might also acknowledge the uniqueness of the situation—having two of the Big Four (Djokovic, Murray, Federer, Nadal) collaborating in a coaching capacity, after years of fierce competition, could serve as a game-changing scenario, not just for Djokovic but for the wider tennis world.
However, Gilbert might also caution about the complexities that could arise from such a high-profile partnership, given the intense nature of their past rivalries. But overall, if handled correctly, it could give Djokovic a tactical edge and bring a fresh layer to his already dominant career.
