Novak Djokovic and his new coach, Andy Murray, are taking advantage of a new setup at the Australian Open that gives players' entourages a chance to sit right next to the court in special four-seat pods.

After dropping his opening set at the Australian Open to Nishesh Basavareddy, Noavk Djokovic eventually asserted himself for a victory to begin his bid for an 11th championship at Melbourne Park and a record 25th major title overall.

Well, it wasn’t exactly the dream debut for tennis’s new celebrity double-act. Andy Murray’s first match in the coaching box found him looking on awkwardly as Novak Djokovic struggled to put away the world No 107.
