Andy Murray joins Novak Djokovic as new coach

The news shocked the tennis world, and there were no rumors about it: Andy Murray will become Novak Djokovic’s new coach. The Scot, winner of two Wimbledon titles and one US Open, recently announced his retirement as a player, hanging up his racket immediately after the 2024 Paris Olympics. His period of unemployment was very short. He will be part of the Serbian team to prepare for the new season and at least until the end of the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam tournament of the year. Italy reaches the Davis Cup final for the second year in a row. Sinner and Berrettini defeat Australia. Number 1 for number 1 Murray and Djokovic have faced each other on the court 36 times, with 25 wins for the Serbian and 11 for the Briton. Memorable matches including many finals such as the 2012 US Open and 2013 Wimbledon won by Murray. Now they will be on the same side. The news was confirmed by Nole himself in a video posted on his social channels: “He never liked retirement anyway,” he wrote. “I’m excited and can’t wait to spend time with Novak on the same side of the court for the first time, it’s a change,” Murray commented to the Times. “I hope to help him achieve his goals.” “I’m very happy to have one of my greatest rivals on the same side of the goal as my coach,” Djokovic told Sky Sport UK. “I can’t wait to start the season and play in Australia with Andy, with whom I have shared many exceptional moments on Australian soil.”
