Novak Djokovic Names Andy Murray as Coach

Novak Djokovic is preparing for the Australian Open with Andy Murray as his new coach, a partnership that began in November 2024. Djokovic expressed admiration for Murray's meticulous approach and professional dedication, stating that their collaboration has enhanced his motivation and communication on the court. He acknowledged the initial challenge of sharing personal insights with Murray, given their history as rivals, but noted that this openness has fostered a strong working relationship. Djokovic is aiming for his 11th Australian Open title and 25th Grand Slam overall, following a year without major wins. Murray's unique understanding of Djokovic's game, stemming from their long history of matches, is expected to be a valuable asset. The first official match for the duo will be against American Nishesh Basavareddy on January 12.
