Novak Djokovic has a close relationship with Andy Murray being the same age and having grown up together on the ATP Tour.
“He's a great footballer”, Djokovic said about Murray. “I have been suffering two losses against him in football, and I've been really feeling the negatives of that losses.”
“No, we have been friends for a long time. Right now, I think we reconnected again and become a bit closer. It's nice to see somebody that you grew up with. We played under-12, under-10, under-14. We grew up together. We basically made a breakthrough to top 100 more or less at the same time.
It's nice to see somebody doing well, the person who was your long-time friend.”
