As Novak Djokovic produced a performance up there with the best of his wins over former rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, he turned to Sir Andy Murray in celebration.

Andy Murray has not been shy in putting his ego to one side and fully stepping into his coaching role with Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open. The announcement of Murray teaming up with Djokovic in his first coaching role since retiring from the sport caught many by surprise.

But Australian coach and strategist Craig O’Shannessy, who helped Djokovic claim four grand slam titles between 2017 and 2019, believes Murray’s appointment is proving a masterstroke.
