Murray on the Big 3: It would have helped me a lot to know which part of my game was bothering Djokovic, Federer and Nadal

Andy Murray is set to continue coaching Novak Djokovic at least until Wimbledon. The two former rivals, who are already working together during the Australian Open, are said to have agreed to continue their collaboration over the coming months.

Good news, if confirmed, for Murray, who is in the midst of his first coaching experience, just a few months after officially calling time on his playing career.

In an interview, the former world No. 1 reflected on his experiences over the last few weeks and returned to the Big 3.

"It's not about saying, 'Here's what I did wrong'. It's also about explaining why it was so difficult for me to play against Novak, what aspects of his tennis bothered me most when I was on the other side of the net.

As a player, you're never fully aware of the power of your shots or the impact they have on your opponent.

It would have helped me a lot to know what part of my game bothered Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, even though I've studied their tennis in depth during my career.

Novak and I have had conversations like that, and I hope I've helped him in that respect. The Big 3? It doesn't matter who forms them.

Many coaches are good at suggesting the right strategy, but not all players can execute exactly what you ask of them. That's the incredible thing about Novak.

I mentioned the strategy I thought would work for Novak, and within a few matches, he was able to execute everything I asked of him.

He did it thanks to his technical skills, the way he hits the ball. He has no weak points. It would have been fun to coach Roger, because everything he does seems so natural," Murray was quoted as saying by World Tennis Italia.
