Laura Robson is very excited about the 'mind-blowing' coaching partnership between tennis legends and at this year's .

Although Murray retired last year, he continues to capture the limelight at Melbourne Park after an unexpected call to coach his one-time adversary.

Djokovic will collide with the promising American Nishesh Basavareddy on Monday as he starts his pursuit of a remarkable 11th Australian Open triumph and a historic 25th Grand Slam title.

Now a tennis pundit for Eurosport, Robson told PA: "I've seen a few others that are team Andy and we're still obsessed with the fact that he's on court with him.

"It still blows my mind somehow, and Novak's playing practice sets and Andy's there picking up the balls. It's something I never thought I'd see. I'm so intrigued to see how it goes.

"Clearly he's taking it super seriously, which you always knew he would. It's unbelievable for the tournament and you just have to see how much they're posting it on socials.

"I've seen 12-minute YouTube videos of Novak's practice because Andy's in the background. I think it's fantastic for the sport just to see someone with Andy's tennis brain working with someone who's still got the capability of Novak and what that can produce."

Murray and Djokovic will decide post-tournament whether to extend their partnership, but Robson believes the three-time Grand Slam champion will quickly adapt to his new role. "I think he'll love it," she commented.

"Anything that he's going to suggest, Novak's going to be able to do, so that's the dream student basically. I'm sure he's been getting involved with all the analysis already.

"I don't think he's the one booking the practice courts and all the day-to-day activities that a coach has to do, collecting rackets from the stringer. I'll find out because I need to know but all the actual tennis stuff and match stuff he's going to be great at."

Robson has tipped Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff for the main titles, but wouldn't be surprised if Djokovic, now 37, lifts the trophy again. "With or without Andy, you'd put Novak in the mix," said the former British No.1.

"He's come here early, put in the hours. You wonder how he still motivates himself given everything he's won in his life. I think he'd back himself against any of the younger guys. When it comes down to it, like we saw at the Olympics, he just finds another level."

Leading the British hopes are Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu. Both Draper and Raducanu are playing their first tournament of the season after more injury issues, while Cameron Norrie, Jodie Burrage and debutants Jacob Fearnley and Sonay Kartal complete the septet.

Robson has expressed her wishes for Raducanu and Draper's health, saying: "For both Emma and Jack, I just hope that they're healthy. It's tough to play your first match of the season at a Grand Slam.

"You want to do well, you want to implement all the things you've been working on in practice, but it's much harder to actually do that when it's day one of the Aussie Open."

"For both of them I've got no expectations in a way. Obviously if they're 100 per cent physically, they can both do extremely well throughout the draw, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see them in the second week. You just hope that everything falls into place."

She highlighted other British talents: "Katie played great last week. I'm really pumped for Jodie. There's names, which is good, we just want as many as possible."
