Andy Murray has confessed he's ready to weather's fiery tantrums as they kick off their professional partnership at the Australian Open.

The titans are , with the Serbian star aiming to boost his collection of 10 Aussie Grand Slam titles as he squares off against American wildcard Nishesh Basavareddy in the opening round.

, often giving his coaches - with whom he maintains a solid rapport - an earful. His fervent passion hasn't escaped Murray - who has a long history of rivalry with Djokovic - and is perhaps better equipped to handle his emotional flare-ups, as he himself acknowledged.

The Serbian's former head coach, Goran Ivanisevic, split from Djokovic last year and conceded that being the chief coach of such a high-maintenance individual isn't everyone's cup of tea. The ex-Wimbledon champ revealed that coaching Djokovic comes with its fair share of stress.

"Well, when you train Novak Djokovic, anything other than winning the title at any tournament is a failure. That's a lot of pressure to deal with," the 53-year-old told . "Novak is very demanding. Something new has to happen every day, he always wants to get better. If you can't handle it, it's better not to take the job at all. The language certainly helped me – we had no barrier between us.

"With Novak it's like this, you only have a few seconds to explain something to him. He then wants to know 15 things from you at once, but you only have three seconds to do it. So you have to try to summarise everything in some clever way. It can be hard, but I enjoyed it with Novak."

Djokovic's former fitness coach Marco Panichi - who was part of the coaching team for half of Djokovic's 24 Grand Slam victories - shed light on his approach to managing the tennis ace's fiery temperament, reports .

"You see, we knew that it was nothing personal, we knew that sometimes he needed that (to release his anger) in order to play at his best," he told .

"We knew how his mind worked when to tell him something and when not to say anything. He's the type of player that sometimes needs that. With a player of his size, there is always stress.

"You have to deal not only with him but also with the whole organisation - a player like him represents the industry for himself, that's the source of stress. Also, an elite tennis player like him always asks you for more, more and more. It's part of the game."

Speaking about the dynamic between himself and Djokovic, Murray confessed that he's contemplated the potential high-pressure situations that could unfold on court. "Of course I've thought about it,' the Brit admitted on Melbourne Park's practice courts on Thursday. "I would think I'd be one of the people that would understand that side of things.

"I know it's not easy out there. It's stressful and at times he's going to vent towards his team and his box. Providing he's giving his best effort and trying as hard as he can, I'm absolutely fine with him expressing himself how he wants."
