Andy Murray admitted he was completely against the idea of going straight into coaching before Novak Djokovic tempted him back on tour. The Scot’s partnership with his former rival is the talk of Melbourne Park and there was again plenty of discussion between the pair at a practice session on Thursday.

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'.

Novak Djokovic and new coach Andy Murray have been seen practising together for the first time ahead of the start of the Australian Open on Sunday.
