The novelty and almost unprecedented nature of having two such recent former adversaries teaming up was always going to be a major sideshow

The Serb and the Briton joined forces last January in Australia. Novak Djokovic's decisions do not leave anyone indifferent. The latest one taken by the Serb is to end his relationship with Andy Murray before Roland Garros (May 25 to June 8).

Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic will no longer be working together after the British legend’s five-month spell as the Serbian icon’s tennis coach. The pair announced the split on Tuesday – just 12 days before the French Open – despite Djokovic previously stating that he hoped to continue his partnership with Murray through Roland-Garros and Wimbledon this year.
