During his short time span as one of the leading tennis players of his generation, world number three Carlos Alcaraz has methodically built a reputation with his classic performances on the court. Even in the face of some of the most accomplished opponents, the pressure has so often elevated his game to big heights.
However, on January 7, for the first time, Andy Murray joined Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam practice session as his practice coach ahead of the 2025 Australian Open. It's worth mentioning to note that the Serbian legend aims to win his 11th title in the Melbourne park alongside aiming for his record-breaking 25th Grand Slam of his iconic career.

Just six months after Murray played his final thriller as an active player, Murray's return to the Grand Slam tournament has been quicker than anyone who could have imagined. He appears to be embracing his new role as coach, as Novak Djokovic and Alcaraz had their two-hour practice session with drills. It was Murray who fed balls for both players, and he collected others who fed balls for both players.

However, January 8 witnessed Novak Djokovic practicing with Andy Murray as the duo begins their strong preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year.
In the same vein, Nick Kyrgios also hailed Novak Djokovic in his recent interview and compared himself with the Serbian legend.
"I could not serve better in the final; I landed in like 75% of the first serve, and Novak still broke me three times. I was right there, but Novak is a different type of player. It was his 30+ Major final and only my first; his experience made a huge difference. I could not have done much more in that match. I played a poor tie break, but everything else was solid. Novak broke me at 4-4 in the third set from 40-0 down," Nick Kyrgios said.
