Novak Djokovic came from a set down to win his opening-round Australian Open match - his first victory with three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray in his coaching box.Djokovic, 37, has enlisted the help of his former long-term rival as he pursues a record-extending 11th Australian Open title, as well as a 25th major which would put him clear of Australia's Margaret Court in terms of all-time victories."I must say that it's a bit strange to have him courtside in my box.
Djokovic, seeded seventh in Melbourne, struggled to find his rhythm in the first set against Basavareddy, making uncharacteristic errors in crucial moments. The teenager idolises Djokovic and was impressive as he showed no signs of nervousness as he battled his way to a break of serve and took the opening set.
He spent the following months at home with his wife and children as well as honing his skills on the golf course when he got the phone call from Djokovic asking him to join his coaching team.
