Andy Murray insists he is ready to take any Novak Djokovic on-court rants - Murray was often emotional towards his box and now finds himself on the other side of the equation

Murray could not resist the offer of teaming up with the 24-time grand slam champion ahead of the Australian Open

Andy Murray had entrenched himself in a different sport before receiving a "surprise" call from Novak Djokovic, asking for his expertise at the Australian Open.

Andy Murray has revealed Novak Djokovic messaged him about becoming his new coach when the Scot was playing golf last September. And the Scot said he had just told his playing partner: 'Honestly, I can't think of anything worse to do right now'.

Andy Murray admitted that the move to coach Novak Djokovic was very much unexpected as he detailed how he was asked and what his wife Kim thought about the move.

Andy Murray has insisted he will be “absolutely fine” with Novak Djokovic venting his anger at his coaching team at the Australian Open as long as he is “trying his hardest”. But the Scot admitted working with the Serbian superstar is going to be “stressful” as the Olympic champion seeks to win a record 25th Grand Slam singles title.

Novak Djokovic's former rival-turned-coach Andy Murray does not want the Serbian to suppress his emotions on court and is even willing to be the target of any angry outbursts as long as the 24-times major winner gives his all at the Australian Open.
