When Novak Djokovic shocked the tennis world by announcing that his new coach would be former rival Andy Murray, opinions flew around over whether the partnership could help the Serbian counter the twin threats of Janik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, tennis’ newest stars. World No 8 Andrey Rublev has waded into the debate and expressed his doubts over whether the Briton could bring much to the table that Djokovic already isn’t aware of.
“Novak is one of the best players in history, so I don’t know if Murray will be able to contribute anything,” Rublev said on the Tennis Weekly Podcast.
