Nick Kyrgios has given coaching advice to Andy Murray to help improve Novak Djokovic's game. This comes after Djokovic advanced to the third round of the Miami Open. He won his second-round match against Rinky Hijikata with scores of 0-6, 6-7 (1-7). Djokovic announced Murray as his coaching partner earlier this year. Kyrgios suggested that Murray should encourage Djokovic to focus on his powerful backhand. He shared this tip on social media before Djokovic's match. Kyrgios, who was also competing in the Miami Open, was eliminated in the second round by Karen Khachanov. Despite his recent success, Djokovic has not won an ATP title in over a year. Reflecting on his performance, he mentioned that he had time to prepare after a two-week break since his last match. He felt his practice showed during the game. In other news, Carlos Alcaraz, the Wimbledon champion, suffered a second-round loss to David Goffin. Alcaraz expressed disappointment, saying he expected to play well but didn't feel good on the court. The Miami Open will continue throughout the week, with the men’s final scheduled for March 30.
