One of the more popular theories was that Djokovic wanted someone who was competing against the current group of players on the ATP Tour. And if that was the case, Murray - who retired from pro tennis during the Paris Olympics - was the right man for that job.

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

Djokovic split with his coach after six years earlier this summer, and he's counting on Andy Murray to help him prepare for the Australian Open.

In a recent interview with ‘L’Equipe’, Daniil Medvedev’s coach Gilles Cervara opened up on Murray’s new role: “Knowing Murray, I’m not surprised by what’s happening because I knew he wouldn’t be able to stay still for more than two or three months after his retirement.

Novak Djokovic announced that Andy Murray will be his coach for the offseason and Australian Open in a post to social media on Saturday.

Recently retired Andy Murray is going to team up with Novak Djokovic, working with him as a coach through the Australian Open in January.
