The Australian Open’s new “coaching pods” have continued to raise eyebrows after a conversation between Novak Djokovic and his new coach Andy Murray left fans in disbelief.

The recently retired Scot says his new charge is undoubtedly the greatest tennis player of all time, but has struggled to stay motivated since winning his first Olympic gold medal last year.

"Andy Murray over there on the sideline, I think was starting to get a little nervous with what was going on."

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have known each other for a quarter of a century. They played from the age of 12, meeting 36 times as professionals, including 10 Grand Slam matches.

John McEnroe feels even Andy Murray was getting nervous for Novak Djokovic during his second-round match at the Australian Open after Jaime Faria took the second set. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has made a habit of being a slow starter at major tournaments in recent years.
