Andy Murray’s contribution to Novak Djokovic’s excellent run at the 2025 Australian Open was very significant and perhaps exceeded expectations. Despite having no experience as a coach, the former world No.1 has played his new role with great commitment and has shown that he has the right skills to help the 24-time Grand Slam champion.
The former Scottish champion gave Nole very useful advice from a tactical point of view and helped him stay lucid in the decisive moments of the various matches, which is why the 37-year-old from Belgrade ran to hug him after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.
Murray can become a great coach
The former world number 1 confided that he really appreciated Andy’s work and that he would like their collaboration to continue in the coming months. Unfortunately, his run at Melbourne Park ended in the semifinals due to an adductor injury, which forced him to retire during the match against Sascha Zverev.
Speaking on Eurosport, former WTA star Laura Robson analyzed Murray’s ability to adapt to this new role: “Every time I spoke to him he was really enjoying it and he was enjoying the challenge of getting behind the scenes and doing the analysis, that is the stuff he really loves. So he enjoyed that aspect.
