Novak Djokovic on Andy Murray: Balancing Peak Performance with Enjoyment as Player-Coach Duo

24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic opened up about his experience working with coach Andy Murray.

“We`ve shared the same stage, so to speak, for a long time. We`ve been on tour together and known each other since our junior days, for about 20-25 years,” Djokovic said.

“However, as rivals, you don`t interact that much. We had a very interesting conversation today while waiting for the matches to resume after the rain.”

“I`ve always had incredible respect for Andy as a tennis player, but now I respect him even more as a person. He`s a great guy, and I`m very grateful that he`s invested in my game.”

“It`s still hard to believe that one of my main rivals is now my coach, jumping in the box and pumping his fist. Sometimes I have to pinch myself and ask, `Is this real?` But it`s fantastic.”

“We`re trying to get the most out of this coach-player relationship, but also to have a great time together. Everything is going wonderfully in Miami. We arrived here early, almost a week before the tournament. We played golf, went out to dinner, and had a lot of fun,” Djokovic shared in an interview with Sky Sports.
