'Novak can vent all he wants, as long as he gives his all'

Novak Djokovic's former rival-turned-coach Andy Murray does not want the Serb to suppress his emotions on court, and is even willing to be the target of any angry outbursts, as long as the 24-time Major winner gives his all at the Australian Open.

Murray played Djokovic 36 times from 2006 to 2022, losing 25 matches, including four Australian Open finals. The Briton, who retired after the 2024 Olympics, joined Djokovic's team in November.

"I would think that I'd be one of the people that would maybe hopefully understand that side of things," Murray said on Jan 9, three days before the year's first Grand Slam starts in Melbourne.

"It's not easy out there and it's stressful and at times he's going to want to vent towards his team and his box. Provided he's giving his best effort and trying as hard as he can, I'm absolutely fine with him expressing himself how he wants."
