Andy Murray, the recently retired three-time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 1, will coach Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam winner, during the off-season and through the Australian Open in January 2025. Djokovic announced the partnership on his social media, stating, "I am delighted to have one of my biggest rivals on the same side of the net as me, this time as a coach." This marks Murray's first coaching role since retiring from professional tennis after the Paris Olympics earlier this year. The collaboration brings together two of the most successful players of their generation, who have faced each other numerous times over the past two decades.
