Novak Djokovic’s coaching partnership with Andy Murray is off to a light-hearted start after a humorous exchange on social media. While Djokovic enjoyed a VIP visit to the Mercedes pit garage during the Qatar Grand Prix, Murray jokingly reprimanded him, saying, “He should be on the practice court.” Djokovic quickly replied, “Sorry coach, I will be back soon.”
This unexpected collaboration, set to begin ahead of the Australian Open, marks the continuation of two legendary careers intertwining. Djokovic, still hungry for Grand Slam success despite a challenging 2024 season, believes Murray’s experience as a former World No. 1 and multiple Grand Slam winner will bring a fresh perspective.
Murray, who retired after the Paris Olympics, admitted surprise at Djokovic’s proposal but embraced the opportunity. The initial arrangement focuses on the Melbourne Slam, with potential for extension based on success.
Their storied rivalry, including four Australian Open final clashes, now transitions into an exciting alliance, as Djokovic aims to reclaim dominance in 2025.
