"I can't wait to see how Murray will react when Novak sends not so nice comments to him"

Djokovic and Murray surprised many when they announced that they would cooperate as a player and coach during the Australian Open, and Rublev was among them.

In an interview with "Tennis Weekly", the Russian highlighted both the positive and negative aspects of the cooperation between the Serb and the Scot.

"Novak Djokovic is one of the best players ever, he knows everything about tennis, that's why I don't know what Murray can bring him!?" said Rublev and added:

"The good thing is that they are good friends, so the energy will be positive. Novak can notice something different and therefore feel fresher and more motivated, and that sometimes means more than other things at that level."

Either way, the Russian expects it to be fun for sure.

"Andy, when he was playing, liked to honor his team with some not very nice comments, so I want to see if Novak will make such comments to him too, because Novak can sometimes get very emotional... That's why I can't wait to see how Murray will react in such situations," added Rublev.
