Former eight-time Grand Slam champion in doubles Nenad Zimonjic underlines that Novak Djokovic is "a smart guy" and therefore knows extremely well why he added Andy Murray to his coaching staff for the Australian Open.

Former two-time French Open finalist Alex Corretja admitted he was in "total shock" when the Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray collaboration news dropped but also backed the partnership to succeed.

Andy Murray turned down other top male and female stars before agreeing to coach Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick has claimed. And the former US Open champion reckoned the working relationship between the “big tennis nerds” will work because it will not be an “overwhelming commitment” for the Scot.
