Andy Murray to coach Novak Djokovic before Australian Open

As well as switching up his preparation for the Australian Open, Djokovic has also made a major coaching change. After parting ways with Goran Ivanisevic earlier this year, Djokovic will now use retired legend Andy Murray on his coaching staff.

Murray, who retired after the Olympics in Paris, will join the 24-time grand slam champion in the off-season and coach him through to the opening grand slam event of 2025. “I’m going to be joining Novak’s team in the off-season, helping him to prepare for the Australian Open,” Murray said. “I’m really excited for it and looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change, helping him to achieve his goals.”

Djokovic said: “I am excited to have one of my greatest rivals on the same side of the net, as my coach. Looking forward to start of the season and competing in Australia alongside Andy, with whom I have shared many exceptional moments on the Australian soil.”
