Novak Djokovic has explained why his new coach, Andy Murray, has not been by his side at the Brisbane International.
After beating Rinky Hijikata on Tuesday, the Serb said: “He is actually skiing at the moment. He has a family skiing trip. Sending my love to all the Murray family. I hope he doesn’t get injured skiing before he comes to Melbourne.
“We are communicating daily so I’m excited to have him in my corner. For 20 plus years he has been across the net, for the first time ever we are on the same side of the court so it should be fun in Melbourne.”
