Tim Henman hoping to see shouting match between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray

The former world No 4 wants there to be some tension between the former rivals to see how Murray deals with Djokovic "shouting and screaming" at him in the coaching box.

Djokovic and Murray stunned the tennis world when they announced they would be joining forces last month.

"I am excited to have one of my greatest rivals on the same side of the net, as my coach," the 24-time Grand Slam winner said in a video.

"Looking forward to start of the season and competing in Australia alongside Andy with whom I have shared many exceptional moments on the Australian soil.

"We played each other since we were boys, 25 years of pushing each other to our limits. We had some of the most epic battles in our sport. They called us game changers, risk takers, history makers.

"I thought our story may be over. Turns out it has one final chapter. It's time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner. Welcome aboard, coach Andy Murray."

Henman, a six-time major semi-finalist, revealed he is intrigued to see the dynamic between Djokovic and Murray.

"Who's going to shout at who? I'm definitely intrigued," the former British No 1 told Eurosport.

"That's why I want to see Djokovic struggle a little bit in those early matches so that there's a bit of tension, a bit of adversity, hopefully a bit of shouting and screaming at the box.

"And we can see how Andy Murray deals with it being on the receiving end. But it's going to be fun to watch."

On the reason for Murray accepting the role, Henman added: "At the end of the day, Andy's the one that's got to answer that question, what was the motivation?

"But I always felt that he would go into coaching. I didn't think it would be this quick, but when you get the opportunity to work with one of the greatest players in the history of our sport, then perhaps he viewed it as too good an opportunity to turn down.

"So, as I said, fascinated to hear about the off-season when they're practising in Spain and then going into the Australian Open to see how the relationship evolves. It just adds another great storyline around the Australian Open in 2025."

Murray, who retired from tennis after this year's Paris Olympics, said of the collaboration: "I'm going to be joining Novak's team in the off-season, helping him to prepare for the Australian Open.

"I'm really excited for it and looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change, helping him to achieve his goals."
