Novak Djokovic Hires Andy Murray as Coach for Australian Open 2025

The unexpected partnership between two former rivals has generated excitement and speculation across the tennis world.

Novak Djokovic announced that retired tennis star Andy Murray will serve as his coach through the 2025 Australian Open, marking a surprising collaboration between the two long-time rivals.
The decision comes after Djokovic spent much of 2024 without a permanent coach, following his split with Goran Ivanisevic in March.
Tennis experts and former players have offered mixed reactions, with some praising Murray's tactical acumen while others question whether their personalities will align effectively in a player-coach dynamic.
Djokovic, who struggled with injuries and inconsistent performances in 2024, aims to secure his 25th Grand Slam title and 11th Australian Open trophy with Murray's guidance.
The partnership has sparked broader discussions about coaching roles for tennis legends, with some fans and insiders speculating about similar moves from retired greats like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
