Andy Murray will coach Novak Djokovic ahead of next season’s Australian Open, in an extraordinary move.
Murray, who retired from tennis at the Paris Olympics in August, will help his long-time rival as he bids to win a 11th Australian Open title in January.
“I’m going to be joining Novak’s team in the off season, helping him to prepare for the Australian Open,” Murray said in a statement.
“I’m really excited for it and looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change, helping him to achieve his goals”.
Djokovic added; “I am excited to have one of my greatest rivals on the same side of the net, as my coach.
“Looking forward to start of the season and competing in Australia alongside Andy with whom I have shared many exceptional moments on the Australian soil.”
