Rafael Nadal ‘surprised’ Andy Murray wants to coach Novak Djokovic because of one reason
Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray both retired from professional tennis last year, but the old rivals are taking very different approaches to their post-playing careers. While Nadal hasn’t even touched a racket since his farewell in November, Murray is already back on the circuit in a new role.
The Brit started coaching Novak Djokovic during the off-season and the pair have since extended their partnership. Murray has already travelled to Melbourne, Indian Wells, Miami and Madrid with the world No. 5. And Nadal was “surprised” by one key aspect of Murray’s decision to begin working with Djokovic.
