Nole ‘not in need of a coach’

Novak Djokovic said on Tuesday he is in no hurry to find a coach to replace Andy Murray as he searches for his first win on clay this season ahead of the French Open.

Djokovic last week parted company with Murray after a tough start to the season for the 24-time Grand Slam champion.

“At the moment, I’m not in need of a coach,” said Djokovic who was to open his title bid at the Roland Garros warmup event in Geneva against 134th-ranked Hungarian Marton Fucsovics yesterday “[ don’t need to rush in any context. I feel comfortable with the people around me... in the next few tournaments, and we'll see what happens”

Djokovic told journalists that Dusan Vemic, previously part of his coaching team had arrived in Geneva from the US, and would be working alongside Boris Bosnjakovic, his assistant coach and analyst.

The partnership with Murray started well, with Djokovic defeating Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open, only to be forced to retire during his semi-final against Alexander Zverev as a result of injury.
