The end of an era has come Novak Djokovic, who hasn’t had a good start to the year. In it Australian Open lost to Jannik Sinner in Semifinals and in India Wells nor did he surpass the second game, in which he lost to Luca Nardi. ““It was a very poor performance, I’m not used to not winning,” acknowledged the tennis player, who now reported that he broke off relations with his coach. Goran Ivanisevic.
The Croatian was the 2001 Wimbledon champion and as coach of ‘Nole’ he achieved 12 Grand Slams. “We decided to break up a few days ago. Our chemistry has ups and downs, but our friendship does not. In fact, I am proud because in addition to winning tournaments we have had a Parcheesi battle… and that will not stop,” the tennis player shared on social networks .
“I remember the moment clearly. I called him in 2018. Marian (Vajda) and I wanted to innovate in our game. Other things came too, like fun and happiness. Also number 1, records and 12 greats (plus some finals). And do I have to mention the drama? “Djokovic recalled in his post to report his farewell to Ivanisevic.
The Croatian coach was also with Marin Cilicwith whom he won US Open 2014 and from whom he separated after Wimbledon 2016. After that he was with Tomas Berdych and Milos Raonic, before joining Djokovic’s team, who found “a second wind” alongside the experienced coach and both reigned during the last few years to break the tie that the Serbian had with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
Now times are coming for both of them and it seems difficult that after 12 Grand Slam titles someone can match what the Croatian achieved alongside Djokovic, who at 36 years old is -probably- beginning the last stage of his playing career.
