Djokovic keen on becoming Kyrgios’ coach

Novak Djokovic has expressed his ambition to coach his close friend Nick Kyrgios in the future.

The two players famously have a close off-court relationship and the 35-year old believes he could use that experience to help his younger competitor achieve Grand Slam silverware.

In the years prior the two shared a cold relationship as they embroiled in a war of words on numerous occasions. However, that status quo is long gone as the two are now close friends and have participated in an exhibition match at the Australian Open recently.

‘I would love to coach Nick Kyrgios,’ Djokovic said.
