In a surprising announcement, Serbia's Novak Djokovic, the most decorated male tennis player, has appointed Andy Murray as his new coach. This decision comes as Djokovic aims to prepare for the upcoming Australian Open. Djokovic and Murray, who have faced off in multiple finals, have a long history, with Djokovic winning most of their meetings including all four finals at the Australian Open.

The announcement has stirred mixed reactions, with some fans excited about the collaboration while others doubt its effectiveness, suggesting a potential favoritism in the mentorship choice.
