Novak Djokovic Names Andy Murray as Coach Ahead of Australian Open

The unexpected partnership sees two long-time rivals join forces as Djokovic eyes his 25th Grand Slam title in 2025.

Andy Murray, who retired after the Paris Olympics earlier this year, has agreed to coach Novak Djokovic for the upcoming Australian Open.
Djokovic, who split with coach Goran Ivanisevic in March, is seeking to rejuvenate his game after a titleless 2024 season despite winning Olympic gold.
Murray reportedly turned down multiple coaching offers from top ATP and WTA players before accepting Djokovic's proposal, encouraged by his family to seize the opportunity.
Tennis experts believe Murray's tactical acumen and experience could help Djokovic adapt his game as he approaches the later stages of his career.
The partnership is seen as a strategic move by Djokovic to challenge rising stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, signaling his intent to remain competitive in 2025.
