Djokovic will be hoping that the partnership can propel him to great things in 2025 after a rare underwhelming season this time around.

One tennis legend has weighed in to give his thoughts on the exciting new partnership at the top of men’s tennis.

Jimmy Connors explains why he ‘likes’ Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray’s coaching partnership
I think it enters a comfort zone,” he said.

“They have competed against each other, they know each other’s game, they have spent time together – not only on the court, playing great matches – but also off the court.
There comes a point in time in your later years where if you feel comfortable and feel relaxed, with the people around you, that allows you to go out and attempt to play your best tennis and give it your all.”

He went on to explain why things change when players get older, and how working with Murray could help Djokovic.
