Andy Murray, after retiring from professional tennis, joined Novak Djokovic's coaching team for the Australian Open, marking a significant partnership between the former rivals. Although Djokovic reached the semifinals, he was forced to withdraw due to a muscle tear, prompting Murray to express mixed feelings about receiving credit for the Serb's performance. Murray emphasized that Djokovic's existing support team has been crucial to his success and acknowledged the steep learning curve he faces as a coach. Djokovic reflected on their growing connection, stating that the collaboration has been about mutual respect and support. Both players have a long history, having faced each other 36 times on the court, and this partnership is seen as a way for them to work together to overcome challenges. As they navigate this new dynamic, Murray remains committed to helping Djokovic achieve further Grand Slam success.
