All eyes will be on Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic over the next fortnight at the Australian Open as the Scot sets his former rival a new challenge, having crowned him tennis' 'GOAT'

Andy Murray wants Novak Djokovic to be recognised as “the best athlete of all time” by winning more Grand Slams. The Scot has admitted he was “shocked” to be asked to join the Serbian superstar’s coaching team at the Australian Open.

The Serbian star, who has won the tournament 10 times, faces American Nishesh Basavareddy in the first round on Monday.

Andy Murray admits coaching is more demanding than he expected but he believes he can help Novak Djokovic win more grand-slam titles. Murray will get a first taste of life on the other side during a match on Monday when Djokovic takes on young American Nishesh Basavareddy in the first round of the Australian Open.

Djokovic’s inspired victory over Carlos Alcaraz in Paris last August, two months after the Spanish sensation won the French Open for the first of likely many times, thrust the super Serb alongside Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi as the only men to have completed a career golden slam in singles.

After winning just one tournament in 2024 — a Paris Olympics gold medal — former No. 1 Novak Djokovic says he, and with new coach Andy Murray’s input, has a plan to take on the game’s newcomers.

Novak Djokovic got the bright idea to hire the recently retired Andy Murray as his coach, at least through the Australian Open.

John McEnroe believes Andy Murray could come out of retirement once he's done working with Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open. The tennis legend hung up his racket back in the summer after playing doubles with Dan Evans at the Paris Olympics.
