BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Hiring Andy Murray as his coach came naturally for Novak Djokovic. On a trip to Argentina to play in a farewell match for Juan Martín del Potro, the Serbian explained why he chose his former rival after being without a coach for six months.

Djokovic admitted that his phone call with Murray caught the Scot "a little off guard" but stressed that the pair "connected really fast". The 37-year-old is said to have only taken a few days to agree to the role, less than four months after retiring at the Paris Olympics.

Andy Murray noticed Novak Djokovic hanging out with F1 star George Russell and figured out it was a perfect way to drop a hilarious joke, telling the Serb he was supposed to be practicing.

Djokovic announced this past week that Murray would join his team as a coach at least through the 2025 Australian Open.
