Novak Djokovic blows kiss to Andy Murray as tennis icon breaks another record in Australian Open win

Novak Djokovic blew a kiss to Andy Murray after his Australian Open win, paying tribute to the tennis icon following another significant milestone in his career. Djokovic defeated his opponent in straight sets to reach the next stage of the competition, but it was his interaction with Murray that caught attention.

Murray, who has been coaching Djokovic since his retirement, has played a vital role in the Serbian’s preparations. Djokovic’s gesture came after Murray achieved another record in his own right during the tournament, solidifying his legacy in the sport.

After a hard-fought match, Djokovic’s gesture highlighted the camaraderie between the two, who have shared many years of rivalry and friendship on the ATP tour. The 37-year-old went on to praise Murray’s influence on his game, especially during their time together as coach and player.

“I wanted to acknowledge Andy for everything he’s done for me and the sport,” Djokovic said after the match. “He’s been a big part of my journey, and it’s amazing to see him breaking records and continuing to push boundaries.”

Murray, who has been by Djokovic’s side during this tournament, continues to prove his value both as a coach and a former champion, making waves in both his own career and Djokovic’s.

As Djokovic progresses further in the 2025 Australian Open, the mutual respect between the two tennis icons serves as a testament to their enduring bond and shared passion for the sport.
