Andy Murray could face awkward Australian Open moment with Novak Djokovic

Andy Murray’s loyalties could be tested during a potentially awkward moment at the Australian Open early next year.

Murray stunned the tennis world over the weekend when it was revealed he would join Novak Djokovic’s camp as a coach.

The Scottish ace only retired himself during the summer, having brought an end to his two-decade-long professional career.

Djokovic and Murray shared plenty of moments together on the court, with the announcement accompanied by a touching tribute from the record Grand Slam winner.

Speaking on a social media clip, Djokovic said: “We played each other since we were boys, 25 years of being rivals, of pushing each other beyond our limits.

“We had some of the most epic battles in our sport. I thought our story may be over – turns out it has one final chapter.

“It’s time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner.”

The first battle for tennis’ new super-team will come in Melbourne at the Australian Open next year – a tournament Djokovic has won a whopping 10 times already.
