The news that Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray would join forces for the 2025 season shook the foundations of world tennis. It was an unexpected announcement, a meeting of champions that passed its first test in Australia with flying colors, where Novak himself expressed great satisfaction with the progress in his game thanks to the presence of the Scot in his corner.

It's no coincidence then that both have extended their partnership until Wimbledon, as reported by The Times. After years of fierce rivalry, Murray's wisdom is now focused on helping Djokovic achieve his 25th Grand Slam. On few occasions had the Brit opened up so candidly about the aspects on which he pays most attention when coaching the Serbian. What does he focus on? What is his main quality as a coach? No one better than Murray himself to reveal it, in a fantastic reflection on the podcast Sporting Misadventures.

"It's not about 'this is what you did wrong', but about 'this is what you do well'. It's about when I faced you on the tour, you did this and this, and it was so tough to play against you for these reasons. I've mainly focused on emphasizing all the positive aspects when he's playing well. 'This is how it feels to play against you, this is what makes your game difficult when on the other side'. As a player, you're never fully aware of the power of your shots, of the impact it's truly having on your opponent, of how they're feeling," highlighted an Andy who valued the experience of facing the Serbian on numerous occasions.

"If I had been able to listen to Novak, Roger, or Rafa about what hurt them in my game, it would have been a huge help. I've spent a lot of time in my room watching videos, even overanalyzing. The potential mistakes I might make as a coach due to my inexperience might be corrected because I competed against him on the biggest stages of the tour over a period of ten or twelve years. That gives me a unique perspective on his game. Not only have I deeply studied his tennis, but I've also experienced it on the court. We've had those kinds of conversations, and hopefully, they have been positive for him. I know in my playing days they would have been for me."

WHO ELSE FROM THE BIG THREE WOULD MURRAY HAVE LIKED TO COACH?

Murray also had time to delve into tennis fiction, revealing which player from the Big Three he would have liked to assist now that he has started his coaching career. "It doesn't matter who coaches these guys as long as they provide clear direction, because they are really good. Many people can watch a tennis player and give them a strategy, show them the way, but not everyone can execute exactly what is asked. That has been the most incredible thing, for me, about Novak. In a couple of matches, I gave him the strategy I thought would work, and he responded by executing everything I asked for because of his technical ability, the way he hits the ball, the way he moves, he has no weaknesses... I also think it would have been fun to coach Roger (Federer), because everything he does seems very natural. I don't like saying that, because there is a huge amount of work behind it, but he had all the shots. You could have asked him for anything, and he would have been able to do it."
