Review: Plenty to be excited about in TopSpin 2K25, which successfully recreates the joy (and frustration) of tennis

Things haven't been easy for Novak Djokovic in 2017. The world No. 2 has yet go beyond the quarterfinals of a tournament since winning Doha in January. This cold streak has led the Serbian to relieve his entire team, months after parting ways with Boris Becker in December last year.

His ATP colleagues, including Andy Murray, Marin Cilic, Milos Raonic and Rafael Nadal, offered their opinions on Djokovic's decision and what led them to choose their own coaches.

Murray gave the Serbian some credit, and taking a positive perspective:

"In tennis, that's extremely rare to have a team around you for that length of time. So I think rather than viewing it negatively, it should be seen as a positive that they had a great run and obviously achieved great things together."

So far Madrid is treating Djokovic kindly, giving the Serbian the boost he needs to pull off hot shots like this volley winner:
