Novak Djokovic has once more captured the tennis world’s attention with an unexpected announcement: Andy Murray will serve as his coach until Australian Open. This announcement not only caused shockwaves online but also spurred further conversation from fans regarding any possible influence that Andy’s wife Kim Sears may have played in this decision.
Djokovic took to his social media accounts on Saturday morning, posting his excitement over having Murray, one of his fierce opponents over many memorable encounters, join him as an equal partner on one side of the net. Murray quickly reciprocated this excitement for this joint endeavor – sparking immediate reactions among fans; many suggested Kim Sears may have played some role.
An amusing post circulating on X features an older photo of Kim Sears looking notably displeased, with a caption suggesting her reaction to discovering that Murray would be coaching Djokovic in Australia instead of taking care of the kids as promised post-retirement. This post rapidly garnered attention, prompting further humorous speculations about Sears’ involvement in Murray’s career choices.
Hilarious Fan Theories Surround Murray’s Coaching Role
Fans on X shared their amusement at the situation, joking about the irony of athletes claiming retirement for family time only to return to the sport or coaching roles soon after. Murray had previously expressed a desire to retire from professional tennis to spend more quality time with his wife and four children. However, his decision to coach Djokovic has led to playful doubts about his initial retirement reasons.
Another post highlighted the contradiction between Murray’s wish to be with his family and his decision to return to the tour as Djokovic’s coach, suggesting humorously that Sears might have encouraged Murray to “go out and get a job.” Despite playing his last professional match at the Paris Olympics, Murray’s swift return to tennis, albeit in a different role, has sparked lively conversations among fans.
Some users even joked that Sears might have wanted Murray to find a job and disrupt his routine, including his newfound passion for golf. Despite showcasing his golf skills on social media, fans speculate that these activities did not align with Sears’ expectations, who supposedly wished for Murray to contribute financially.
With Djokovic facing challenges with his coaching team earlier in 2017, this partnership between two tennis greats, precipitated by Djokovic’s temporary coaching vacancy, has caused eyebrows to raise due to both players’ stages in their respective careers. Fan discussions and playful banter surrounding Kim Sears’ supposed influence over her husband’s decisions has resulted in fan discussions pertaining to their working together as an unconventional pair.
Djokovic and Murray’s unique alliance has quickly become a topic of much speculation within the tennis community, leading many to expect any response from either Sears or Murray regarding such speculations. Whatever comes from it all, their partnership has already generated much hype from around the globe and drawn interest and anticipation among their followers.
