Andy Roddick made a huge revelation about the Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray partnership as the 2003 US Open champion shares he was told that the newly retired Briton rejected multiple offers from "top male and female" players before accepting the Serb's invitation to work with him.

Former tennis rivals Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic have entered an unexpected new era, as the two recently announced that Murray is set to coach Djokovic for the Australian Open.

Djokovic on Saturday announced that Murray will be joining his team as a coach through the 2025 Australian Open.

Djokovic had been without a full-time head-coach since he ended his five-year partnership with Goran Ivanisevic back in March. During the off-season, there had been rumblings about the world No. 7 hiring a big name as his coach.

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

A message from 1959 French Open champion Christine Truman popped into my inbox as I cooked the bacon on Sunday morning. “Do you think Andy will opt for some GB youngsters after Djokovic for coaching?”

The tennis world is exploding with excitement after Saturday’s bombshell announcement that Andy Murray will become a coach to Novak Djokovic. Murray officially entered retirement in August – and while he made no secret of his desire to start a coaching career – he was adamant that it would not come soon as he wanted to focus on spending time with family.

Tennis star Nicolas Mahut has admitted that Andy Murray will have to be wary of potential 'violent' verbal outbursts from Novak Djokovic when they work together at the 2025 Australian Open. Djokovic confirmed the Scot will be in his corner in the New Year as he looks to win a staggering 25th Grand Slam title.
