As the tennis world gears up for the Indian Wells Masters 2025, a fascinating scene unfolded with star players Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray spotted together. This gathering particularly seems thrilling given their recent history, especially after the Serbian ace's win over the 21-year-old Spaniard in the Australian Open 2025 quarterfinals earlier this year.
The Djokovic win was notable not just as an outcome but also for the strategic approach he employed, which many attribute to the influence of his new coach, Andy Murray.
Andy Murray, a three-time Grand Slam winner, brought tactical prowess to Djokovic's team, helping him navigate the challenging game against Carlos Alcaraz in the first Grand Slam of the year. The skills involved taking play off the ball, which disrupted the world number three's rhythm in the game and forced him to make many errors in the game, ultimately leading to the 37-year-old Serbian legend's success in the game.
This video, which has widely been shared on social media at the forthcoming Indian Wells 2025, showcases a level of camaraderie and mutual respect among these tennis giants, despite their competitive spirits.

Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz is set to take a soft approach as he vies to become just the third man to win three straight titles at Indian Wells, where he could find a member of that exclusive club, Novak Djokovic.
"I will try just to enjoy it. This tournament, every time that I come here, I enjoy so much practicing, playing. Everything for me here is so easy. So I will try not to think about it, just flow and see how it's going to be, the tournament. But it is something that for me would be great to achieve," Alcaraz told reporters Tuesday as he prepped for the elite ATP Masters 1000 tournament that starts Wednesday alongside a WTA 1000 tournament.
