This marked the fifth occasion that Alcaraz and the Serbian tennis star have trained together ahead of a tournament. Their last encounter was at the 2023 ATP Finals in Turin, and prior to that, they had met at the Mutua Madrid Open, Roland Garros, and Paris-Bercy.
In an intense training session from both players, it was Djokovic, in his first session in Australia alongside Murray—his new coach for the season—who came out on top with a score of 7-5, thanks to a more effective serve in the crucial moments.
