Djokovic admits sharing tennis secrets with new coach Murray feels ‘strange’

World No 7 will train with former rival at Australian Open
Veteran still critical of Sinner and Swiatek doping cases

Novak Djokovic admits it has been “strange” to have Andy Murray working as his coach but the winner of 24 grand slam titles believes he will benefit from one of his greatest rivals taking a “fresh look” at his game.

Djokovic spoke also of his frustration at being “kept in the dark” over Jannik Sinner’s doping case, accusing the game’s authorities of double standards and a lack of transparency.
