Novak Djokovic revealed that Andy Murray was caught off guard when offered the coaching role, turning their storied rivalry into a surprising new partnership ahead of the 2025 Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic believes that Andy Murray ’s experiences and similar mindset made him the perfect profile for his new coach. Djokovic stunned the tennis world last weekend when he appointed Murray as his new full-time coach just four months after the Scotsman hung up his racquets.

Novak Djokovic has taken on Andy Murray as his coach for the Australian Open. It makes sense to put half of the original Big Four in men's tennis together again.

Djokovic admitted that his phone call with Murray caught the Scot "a little off guard" but stressed that the pair "connected really fast". The 37-year-old is said to have only taken a few days to agree to the role, less than four months after retiring at the Paris Olympics.
