‘No injuries just yet’ jokes Andy Murray as he takes up new sport for 2025 after tennis retirement

ANDY MURRAY was spotted enjoying his New Year skiing instead of coaching Novak Djokovic in Australia. The three-time Grand Slam champion retired from tennis after Paris 2024. The Scot - who has been added to Djokovic's coaching set-up for the Australian Open - was posted missing as his one-time Serbian adversary took care of Aussie wildcard Rinky Hijikata by a 6-3, 6-3 scoreline at the Brisbane International event on New Years Eve.

The agreement was initially announced as a short term one for pre-season training, before Murray joined Djokovic's set-up for the first Grand Slam of 2025. But before linking up with his former rival, Murray had planned a short trip with wife Kim and their four children.

Djokovic paired with Nick Kyrgios in doubles this week, and after their match he was asked about the Scot's absence from his box. He said: "He's actually skiing at the moment. He has a family ski trip, and I'm sending all my love to the Murray family. "I hope he doesn't get injured skiing before he comes to Melbourne... that wouldn't be great.

"We spoke before the match, we're communicating daily. I'm excited to have him in my team, my corner. "For 20-plus years he's been across the net, but for the first time ever he's on the same side of the court as me so it should be fun in Melbourne.". BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS.
