The tennis world is exploding with excitement after Saturday’s bombshell announcement that Andy Murray will become a coach to Novak Djokovic. Murray officially entered retirement in August – and while he made no secret of his desire to start a coaching career – he was adamant that it would not come soon as he wanted to focus on spending time with family.

Delgado was assistant coach under Ivan Lendl to Murray when he won his second Wimbledon title in 2016 before he went on to finish the year as world No.1. He reckoned the job is a “great challenge that Andy will relish” and with Djokovic perhaps entering his final season: “If Andy was going to do this, he had to do it now.”

Tennis star Nicolas Mahut has admitted that Andy Murray will have to be wary of potential 'violent' verbal outbursts from Novak Djokovic when they work together at the 2025 Australian Open. Djokovic confirmed the Scot will be in his corner in the New Year as he looks to win a staggering 25th Grand Slam title.
