Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic have been searching the Australian Open locker room for players who can provide them with inside information ahead of the Serbian’s matches. Djokovic, who appointed Murray as his coach last autumn, is on the hunt for a record-extending 25th men’s Grand Slam title at Melbourne Park.

Novak Djokovic and his new coach, Andy Murray, are taking advantage of a new setup at the Australian Open that gives players' entourages a chance to sit right next to the court in special four-seat pods.

Novak Djokovic has admitted he doesn’t want his tennis rivals to pick up on Andy Murray ’s coaching advice while the Briton is in a courtside pod at the Australian Open. Up to four coaches are now allowed to sit in the specialised pods, which are located at the corner of the courts at Melbourne Park.

Novak Djokovic’s first match with former rival Andy Murray as his coach turned into a first-round victory at the Australian Open.

After dropping his opening set at the Australian Open to Nishesh Basavareddy, Noavk Djokovic eventually asserted himself for a victory to begin his bid for an 11th championship at Melbourne Park and a record 25th major title overall.

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

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.
