Andy Murray will coach his long-time former rival Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open in 2025.
Britain’s three-time Grand Slam champion Murrayretired from tennis in August after a 19-year career.
The pair will work together in the off-season and in the build-up to the Australian Open, which takes place from 12-26 January.
Former world number one Murray said he was “looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change”.
Djokovic has won the Australian Open a record 10 times, including beating Murray in four finals.
He and Djokovic had a number of memorable meetings during his career, with Murray beating the Serb to win two of his major titles.
Djokovic posted a video on X of clips of the two, jokingly titled: “He never liked retirement anyway.”
“We played each other since we were boys, 25 years of being rivals, of pushing each other beyond our limits,” the 24-time Grand Slam champion said.
“We had some of the most epic battles in our sport. I thought our story may be over, – turns out it has one final chapter.
“It’s time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner.”
Djokovic is level with Margaret Court for the most major singles titles by any player.
