Retired tennis great Andy Murray has agreed to join Novak Djokovic’s team and will coach him at the Australian Open next year, the Serbian 24-time Grand Slam champion said.

Briton Murray retired after this year’s Olympics in Paris where Djokovic won the gold medal. The two 37-year-olds, both former world No. 1s, played each other 36 times, with Djokovic winning 25 matches on the ATP Tour.

“We played each other since we were boys, 25 years of being rivals, of pushing each other beyond our limits,” Djokovic said. “We had some of the most epic battles in our sport. I thought our story may be over, turns out it has one final chapter,” he added.
