As a member of Novak Djokovic’s coaching staff at the Australian Open, one of his best pals does not anticipate any issues from Andy Murray.
It was revealed last week that Murray had unexpectedly agreed to coach Djokovic in the off-season. At the Australian Open, he will also train with his old opponent, Djokovic, who wants to snap his Grand Slam slump as soon as possible.
Many in the sports world were taken aback by the news, and there have been questions about the partnership’s viability. However, one of Djokovic’s closest supporters has praised his choice to enlist Murray as a brilliant move.
Ubitennis was informed by Nenad Zimonjic, Djokovic’s professional mentor: “Novak is His professional background is evidence that he is a very intelligent decision-maker.
He reached out if he needed a coach or assistance that was truly exceptional. The outcomes demonstrate that, and in my opinion, he is the most knowledgeable.

Andy was one of the top players in terms of tactics. so that he can assist him by offering an alternative viewpoint. For Andy, this is something new.
He may undoubtedly benefit from his prior experience working with various coaches as well as his personal experiences as a player going through comparable circumstances.
With just over seven weeks before the Australian Open, Murray won’t have much time to get used to his first coaching position.
Zimonjic responded, “Andy is going to be one of the team members there, they’re all together,” when asked if Djokovic would be hampered by the Brit’s lack of coaching expertise. Their experience is extensive.
I believe that the team as a whole, Novak, and Andy as an addition can function effectively.
It’s unclear if Murray and Djokovic would continue their collaboration after Murray only promised to teach Djokovic through and into the Australian Open.
“This is something that is going to be new for everybody, that’s probably why they agreed to work through the Australian Open and see how that goes and if it fits well,” Zimonjic said.
“They might keep working together, but it might also depend on how much Andy wants to travel after so many years of performing. I hope they have success.
“Andy and I were close friends, and we practiced a lot together. We even had the opportunity to compete against him in a few tournaments in doubles. It’s thrilling to observe, and I’m eager to see what lies next.”
