Novak Djokovic and his new coach, Andy Murray, are taking advantage of a new setup at the Australian Open that gives players' entourages a chance to sit right next to the court in special four-seat pods.

After dropping his opening set at the Australian Open to Nishesh Basavareddy, Noavk Djokovic eventually asserted himself for a victory to begin his bid for an 11th championship at Melbourne Park and a record 25th major title overall.

Andy Murray should not take the credit or blame for Novak Djokovic’s performances at the Australian Open, according to Andy Roddick. The Scot sat courtside for the first time in the Serbian superstar’s entourage as the 24-time Grand Slam winner won his opening round match here against American wildcard Nishesh Basavareddy.
