In a light-hearted exchange that has tennis fans chuckling, Andy Murray responded hilariously to Novak Djokovic’s comments about his recent ski trip. Djokovic, who recently announced Murray as part of his coaching team for the upcoming Australian Open, expressed concern about Murray’s safety on the slopes.
During a post-match interview at the Brisbane International, Djokovic shared, “He’s actually skiing at the moment. He has a family ski trip and I’m sending all my love to the Murray family. I hope he doesn’t get injured skiing before he comes to Melbourne, that wouldn’t be great!”
Murray, never one to miss a chance for a witty comeback, took to social media to assure Djokovic that he was managing just fine. Posting a picture of himself on a steep slope, Murray quipped, “I’m taking on some huge slopes as you can see but no injuries just yet,” adding a crying-laughing emoji to emphasize the playful tone of his message.
The exchange highlights the camaraderie between the two tennis legends, who have faced off across the net for over two decades. Now, for the first time, they’ll be on the same side, with Murray bringing his experience and strategic mind to Djokovic’s team.
As the tennis world eagerly awaits the Australian Open, fans are delighted by the humorous interaction between the two stars. It’s clear that despite their competitive history, there’s a strong mutual respect and a sense of fun that continues to shine through.
