Djokovic designated his previous opponent Murray as his instructor for the very early component of the 2025 season at the very least, specifying exactly how vital it is that at this phase of his profession he has a trainer that understands what it resembles at the really leading of the game.
It appeared of heaven and has actually produced among one of the most fascinating sub-plots to the upcoming season, which will certainly begin with Djokovic’s proposal to win an 11 th Australian Open title.
For Henman, however, he’s equally as interested as the remainder people to see simply exactly how both big individualities will certainly blend in the stress minutes.

“And we can see how Andy Murray deals with it being on the receiving end. But it’s going to be fun to watch.”
Murray relinquished playing in the summer season after years of fighting a significant hip issue, and there was constantly a great deal of supposition as to what his following action would certainly be.
Many assumed him more probable to go into the media than training, however Henman stated he is not amazed by the previous globe leading’s choice.
Asked why he assumed Murray approved the duty, he stated: “At the end of the day, Andy’s the one that’s got to answer that question, what was the motivation?
“But I always felt that he would go into coaching. I didn’t think it would be this quick, but when you get the opportunity to work with one of the greatest players in the history of our sport, then perhaps he viewed it as too good an opportunity to turn down.
