Novak Djokovic was publicly called out by Andy Murray after attending the Qatar Grand Prix.
Andy Murray was quick to accuse Novak Djokovic of lacking discipline in a light-hearted way after the Serb took time away from the court to visit the Qatar Grand Prix.
Djokovic was among the celebrity guests in the paddock on Saturday, visiting the Ferrari and McLaren garages and chatting to Alpine drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon.
He also spent time in the Mercedes garage, with the Silver Arrows posting an image of Djokovic alongside George Russell on Instagram with the caption: “Ace to welcome you into the team today.”
Murray, who recently agreed to coach Djokovic into and through the Australian Open, left a comment questioning the Serb’s decision to take time out of his practice schedule.
“He should be on the practice court,” joked Murray. Djokovic instantly apologised with his reply, which read: “Sorry coach, I will be back soon,” alongside a laughing emoji.
He will be hoping that his partnership with Murray is a fruitful one, with the 37-year-old hoping to end his Grand Slam drought by claiming the top prize at the Australian Open in January.
While in Qatar, Djokovic gave an interview to Sky Sports explaining why he felt he had made the perfect decision by appointing Murray as his new coach.
