Djokovic announced this past week that Murray would join his team as a coach at least through the 2025 Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray stunned the tennis world last weekend, announcing that the newly-retired Brit would begin coaching the world No. 7 during the off-season. Murray will also be in Djokovic’s corner during the Australian Open as the Serb bids to win his 25th Grand Slam title and his 11th in Melbourne.

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.

Andy Roddick analyzed what was the tennis news of the year: Andy Murray will be Novak Djokovic's coach , starting with the pre-season that will lead the Serbian champion towards the 2025 Australian Open and towards the rest of the season.

Novak Djokovic says his decision to appoint former rival Andy Murray as his coach was "a surprise to everyone" but is "exciting for tennis".
