The latest coach-player union between number 1s will be featuring Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. The British player will go from being a colleague to becoming the coach of the Serbian in what will be a very interesting chapter to witness between the two friends who have shared the courts as rivals for over 20 years. Both know what it means to lead the ATP ranking, but they are not the only number 1s who have had a player-coach relationship, as there are a few more notable partnerships, highlighting one in particular that we can see today and another that has come to an end this year. Do you remember any others?
Carlos Alcaraz – Juan Carlos Ferrero
This is undoubtedly one of the best partnerships we can see on the circuit these days due to the success that the young Murcian is achieving. They joined forces when Carlitos was just 15 years old, back in 2018. Ferrero saw a diamond in the rough, and through hard work and a great connection, Alcaraz managed to reach number 1 as the youngest in history. On the other hand, Juan Carlos reached the top of the rankings a few years earlier, in 2003, holding the position for 8 weeks.
Rafa Nadal and Carlos Moyà
This pair has certainly been one of the most recognized and beautiful, as after having been rivals on the circuit, they ended up joining paths. The strong friendship that binds them, almost like family, led Moyà to replace Toni Nadal as his coach in 2017 after his uncle had trained him from the beginning. While Moyà held the world number 1 ranking for only 2 weeks, Rafa did it for 209 weeks. Thus, with Rafa’s retirement after the Davis Cup this November, their professional relationship came to an end.
Novak Djokovic; Boris Becker and Andre Agassi
Now, after teaming up with Andy Murray, Nole will have been coached by three different number 1s. The Serbian called on Boris Becker to be his coach from 2014 to 2017. The success of their relationship was reflected in 6 Grand Slam titles and 14 Masters 1000 titles, in addition to holding the number 1 spot for several months. Then, in May 2017, Novak turned to Andre Agassi, but that relationship did not end as expected. Between a challenging year due to injuries and communication difficulties, they decided to part ways in 2018.
Roger Federer and Stefan Edberg
The last member of the ‘Big 3’ we needed to talk about was also coached by a former number 1, Stefan Edberg. The Swedish idol of Roger Federer remained in his corner for two seasons. The Swiss player defined Edberg more as “a mentor” than a coach, concluding their relationship in 2015 after an alliance that did not lead the Swiss to win major titles.
Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl
This last partnership we are going to discuss had several periods. Andy Murray and Ivan Lendl formed a good team; in their first time together from 2011 to 2014, the Briton won his first two Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold. Then in 2016, they collaborated again, and Andy added his second Wimbledon title and his second Olympic gold, along with reaching the world number 1 ranking. Lendl played a significant role in the development of the Briton, but in their third stage together from 2022 to 2023, Lendl had to step back due to the challenges of traveling throughout the year.
