The former American tennis player has commented on the surprising departure.
The tennis world has experienced frenetic days due to the sensational announcement of the separation between the world number one Novak Djokovic and his coach Goran Ivanisevic.
The two had been working together for nearly 10 years, winning many Grand Slam titles together. You could say they achieved everything, and the former Croatian tennis player, now coach, was undoubtedly a key figure in the Balkan champion’s career.
Now, perhaps due to recent disappointing results, Djokovic has decided to make a change. He’s ready to start over to boost his ambitions and try to compete with the rising young talents duo of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
The semifinal loss to the Italian player in Melbourne was probably the exact point where something broke in this extraordinary partnership. Speaking to Tennis Channel, former world number one and now commentator Andy Roddick revealed that Novak Djokovic is considering a replacement, and he sees Marian Vajda and Boris Becker as possible candidates.
Both have previously been part of Djokovic’s staff, and now Nole is considering a return to the past. Nothing official yet, but these rumors are definitely incredible and would be sensational news for the tennis world.
The relationship between Djokovic and Ivanisevic will always remain good, but in tennis, there are times when a change is needed. In the farewell announcement, Djokovic emphasized: “Goran and I stopped working together a few days ago. Our chemistry on the court had its ups and downs, but our friendship has always remained strong. Thank you truly for everything, my friend,” concluded the champion.
