I gotta say, I'm kinda surprised Andy Murray is feeling down about his time as Djokovic's coach
. I mean, you're talking about one of the greatest tennis players of all time here!
But at the same time, I get it - coaching a superstar can be super high pressure, and it sounds like Murray was expecting more from their partnership
. And honestly, with Djokovic's intense training schedule and travel schedule, it's no wonder he struggled with injuries
. It's like they say in The Office (US) when Michael Scott says "That's what she said"... in this case, that's what happened to Djokovic's body
. Anyway, Murray's comments do highlight the importance of player welfare and finding a balance between performance and recovery
. Maybe we'll see more coaches taking steps to prioritize their players' health and happiness
.
. And what really gets me is that everyone's always talking about player welfare, but nobody's ever like, "Hey, we need to scale back the number of tours or give players more time off." It's all about winning and prestige 
. Anyway, I hope Djokovic takes his coach's words to heart and prioritizes his health 
.
it's like they're trying to break the players 
Andy Murray's right, six months is a decent chunk of time to be coaching someone and you'd think Novak would've had some consistency by then. The guy's an injury magnet (no surprise) and I can see how that would drive a coach crazy
