If Novak Djokovic can win a 25th major title in the coming days, he will bolster his claim to be considered the greatest athlete in history, according to his new coach Andy Murray.

The Serbian star, who has won the tournament 10 times, faces American Nishesh Basavareddy in the first round on Monday.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have known each other for a quarter of a century. They played from the age of 12, meeting 36 times as professionals, including 10 Grand Slam matches.
