The news of the week on the tennis scene, beyond the competition in Miami, has been explained with sincerity by Novak Djokovic at a press conference in Serbia. The world number 1 spoke about his recent breakup with Goran Ivanisevic and hinted that he plans to spend a few months without any official coach.
It is often said that a dead king is a king, but the mark he leaves Goran Ivanisevic in Novak Djokovic It is so pronounced that the Serbian tennis player needs some time to reflect to see where he is taking his steps. He is 37 years old, his career seems to be facing, now, a final stretch whose length and hardness has yet to be determined, and it would be logical for him to seek the company of someone he trusts. Djokovic spoke about all this with sincerity in words collected by TennisMajors.
During the presentation of a documentary about Nikki Pilic, coach of the Serbian in his junior stage and a key figure in his evolution, Nole was talkative and expanded the information about what happened with Goran Ivanisevic. “He is a friend of mine and my family and always will be. I love him very much and the end of our collaboration does not mean that that friendship ends. Our separation has been as positive as something like that can be, we reached a point where we had to cut it off a job that we had been doing together for almost five years,” he said.

“Together we have written the history of this sport, winning Grand Slams, finishing seasons as number 1, but we also went through difficult times,” Novak recalled, remembering his disqualification at the US Open or deportation from Australia. “I will always remember that he supported me when I needed it and brought the right values to my life. I wish him all the best,” commented the Balkan player, who plans to compete again in Monte Carlo.
The million-dollar question at the moment is none other than who will be Ivanisevic’s successor on the bench. Novak Djokovic, something the Serbian spoke about. “I still don’t have a clear idea of who my new coach will be, or if there will be one,” he said to everyone’s surprise. “Since I was a child I have had a coach and now I try to discern for myself what I need and what I feel most comfortable with. I will inform you of any news,” he stated, awakening great expectations.
