There would be a violent argument at the basis of the separation between Novak Djokovic and his now former coach, Goran Ivanisevic. Circumstantial phrases and happy photos on social media after their divorce made one think of something that had been hatched for some time and decided by consensus, but instead it seems that things went differently.
the rumors

According to the Sportskeeda newspaper, which cites sources close to the world number one, the bomb would have exploded in Indian Wells, when Djokovic and Ivanisevic, according to the website, would have argued heavily, for an incredible reason, if you look at the history of the 24 times slam winner: the Serbian, in fact, trained little, badly and reluctantly in California, sending the Croatian coach into a rage.
dissatisfaction
—
It’s not just this. Djokovic seems to have been dissatisfied with the work of his team for some time, and in fact, upon closer inspection, it’s not like he was hiding it. For months already, during matches, Nole had been raging towards his bench, insulting his corner several times, until the climax reached at the Australian Open, when the Serbian shouted “I’ll fire you all”. For Ivanisevic, unlike other times, things would not have gone down well. Also because, upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a phrase just thrown out there, given that the world number one is really changing his entire team, from manager Dodo Artaldi (replaced with the American Mark Madden) on down.
repentance… missed
—
The Croatian coach himself had said several times in a press conference that yes, it’s true, Djokovic sometimes went over the top with them during matches, but he justified it with the fact that this anger gave him energy on the court and in any case he apologized afterwards. with everyone, repenting of those behaviors. Evidently, this time, things went differently.
2024 program
—
According to Sportskeeda, Djokovic’s ideas for 2024 planning also cause a further rift between the two, as he has a great goal: Olympic gold, the only thing missing from his endless list of successes. As we all know, it will be played in Paris, on the courts of Roland Garros, and to reach the goal in Nole’s head there would be the idea of skipping Wimbledon, a tournament he has won seven times, to save energy and not have to go to the grass to the earth in such a short time (the Olympic tournament will be a few days after the end of the Championships). A thought that Ivanisevic did not agree with at all.
and now?
—
It is certainly not an easy moment for Djokovic, who now finds himself having to look for another coach, with Zimonjić, Troicki and Vajda favored to succeed Ivanisevic, but the idea of doing everything himself seems to be taking shape in the Serbian’s head. Alone. Without having to listen to anyone anymore.
