Andy Murray has revealed his immediate reaction at 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic asking him to be his coach for the upcoming Australian Open. Murray, who retired from playing following the 2024 Paris Olympics, joined up with his long-term rival in November in a move which surprised many - including the Scot himself.

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 failed to deliver a convincing answer to Zheng Qinwen when asked about Andy Murray and the Briton made sure to let the Serb hear it. On Thursday, the record 24-time Grand Slam champion teamed up with the Chinese tennis star for a charity mixed doubles match versus the newly retired Briton and Victoria Azarenka.
