Andy Murray reveals the unique asset he brings as Novak Djokovic’s coach
Andy Murray has shared some intriguing insights on his role as Novak Djokovic’s coach as he revealed his key focus and also one mistake he has made.
Djokovic and Murray announced their surprise collaboration in November and worked together for the first time during the off-season.
Murray’s first tournament in Djokovic’s coaching box was last month’s Australian Open, where the Serbian reached the semi-finals.
Djokovic delivered excellent displays to defeat Tomas Machac, Jiri Lehecka and Carlos Alcaraz in Melbourne, before a hamstring injury forced him to retire in his semi-final match with Alexander Zverev.
According to The Times, the two former rivals are set to continue their partnership until at least Wimbledon, with next month’s Indian Wells Masters likely to be the next time they link up.
Speaking on the Sporting Misadventures podcast, Murray opened up on the experience of coaching Djokovic.
“It wasn’t so much ‘this is what you did wrong’, it was more like ‘this is what you do right’,” the former world No 1 explained. “(It was) ‘when I was playing against you, you were doing this, it was so hard to play against for these reasons’.
