Amritraj: We won’t see benefits of Novak Djokovic-Andy Murray coaching relationship until later in Australian Open

The Tennis Channel Live panel broke down Djokovic’s first match with Murray as his coach, winning in four sets against American Nishesh Basavareddy.

may be just what Djokovic needed to kick off his campaign for his first major title since 2023.

“If you’re Novak, you want to be tested a little bit because he hasn’t played that many matches. But you also don’t want to waste too much energy in the first part of the event. I thought it was a match he finished much stronger than he started.”

The Djokovic-Murray duo will be back in action on Wednesday.
