Andy Murray will continue coaching Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells this week and at the Miami Open later this month.
Djokovic, 37, confirmed last month their coaching agreement, which began ahead of last month’s Australian Open, will continue through to the French Open at the very least.
The 24-time grand slam champion was forced to retire from his Australian Open semi-final against Alexander Zverev but had praised Murray’s impact following his win over Carlos Alcaraz in the previous round.
Djokovic then said that he and the retired Murray would discuss their “next steps” following a cool-off period and the Serbian has revealed that those talks were positive. "I expressed my desire to continue the collaboration with him so I am really glad he did accept,” he told the ATP Tour.
"It is indefinite in terms of how long we are going to work together, but we agreed most likely in the States and some clay-court tournaments. We will see how it goes after that."
Djokovic shocked the tennis world last year when appointed former rival Murray as his coach on a short-term agreement through to the end of the Australian Open.
Murray admitted the offer took him by surprise after telling friends that he did not plan on turning to coaching following his retirement from the game.
But Djokovic said he would only have “positive” feedback for Murray, and praised his impact following the quarter-final win over his young rival Alcaraz.
"He obviously has a unique perspective on my game," Djokovic added. "He has played me and all of the current best players in the world and knows everyone well.
"He knows exactly what we need to do tactically - the evolution of my game and what needs to be improved.
"He has a positive approach and has handled the whole pressure very well as it is a completely different situation from being there as a player.
"He has been terrific with all the other team members and while it was unfortunate the way the Australian Open finished with injury, we had a great run."
Djokovic was knocked out of the Qatar Open by Matteo Berrettini in the first round last month. Djokovic’s last titles at Indian Wells and Miami came in 2016, and he has not played in Miami since 2019.
