Murray and Djokovic’s blockbuster partnership ensures one thing ahead of the Australian Open, as his young rivals grow ever stronger

Novak Djokovic enlisted a former foe and longtime friend, Andy Murray, to become his new coach starting this year at the Australian Open. This news rocked the tennis world back in November, mostly because the two legends were often considered rivals on the court.

Novak Djokovic failed to deliver a convincing answer to Zheng Qinwen when asked about Andy Murray and the Briton made sure to let the Serb hear it. On Thursday, the record 24-time Grand Slam champion teamed up with the Chinese tennis star for a charity mixed doubles match versus the newly retired Briton and Victoria Azarenka.
