In an incredible turnaround in the world of tennis, Andy Murray has accepted the role of coach from rival Novak Djokovic, a move which has left Laura Robson’s predictions in limbo. The announcement, which shook the tennis community on Saturday (November 23), revealed that Murray, one of Djokovic’s fiercest competitors, will guide the Serbian star in preparation for the upcoming Australian Open.
With an impressive record of 11 of his 24 Grand Slam titles obtained in Australia, Djokovic, now 37, hopes to increase his success under the wise guidance of Murray. This comes after Murray’s own retirement from professional tennis earlier this summer, following his participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Robson, who has a significant history with Murray—having won an Olympic silver medal in mixed doubles at the London 2012 Games—has long been a strong advocate of his potential as a coach. Earlier this year, she expressed faith in Murray’s coaching abilities, saying she had personally encouraged him, insisting: “Andy would be a great coach for anyone. I’ve told him over the last few weeks, when I saw it: You would be incredible!”
This unexpected partnership sets an intriguing framework for the 2024 Australian Open, as the two players combine their many experiences in a bid to conquer the competition.
