Novak Djokovic e Goran Ivanisevic they separated after about five years. A divorce announced by the Serbian tennis player with a post on his Instagram profile that the Croatian coach and former player commented on in an interview with Sports Club. “I’ve heard many things, none of them true. The truth is that I got tired of him and he got tired of me, but there’s no real reason.” The two spent half a decade together and won twelve Slams. According to Ivanisevic the relationship has only reached one natural fine: “There was almost a sense of saturation because they have been five very intense and difficult years. People forget the time during Covid when Djokovic was labeled the world‘s greatest enemy due to his status linked to vaccination. We entered a sort of limbo, then we got tired of each other. Plus, I didn’t feel like I could help him anymore. We did great things.” The first signs of farewell, however, had already been there a long time ago: “I felt that something wasn’t right there.Last year in America. Here I really began to feel like the end was near. At that point it was just a question of understanding when.” As told by Ivanisevic, his knee operation after the separation also contributed to the separation US Openwhich kept him away from Djoker for about seven weeks, increasing the weight of the role of coach.
Italians – The defeats inflicted by two Italians weigh on Djokovic’s recent performance: Sinner in the semifinals at the Australian Open e Luca Nardi in the round of 32 of the Masters 1000 Indian Wells. Ivanisevic commented on both missteps as follows: “In Australia he could have won, but the defeat was nothing tragic. He didn’t lose in the first round, but against a young, well-trained guy. I don’t know what happened, but Djokovic wasn’t himself and Sinner is too good not to go into the match at almost 100%.” However, the defeat against Nardi made a negative difference first setdefined by Ivanisevic as “the uglier that Djokovic has ever played with me.” “Novak proved not to be ready for the battle that broke out afterwards. However, Nardi remains very good, he should already be in the top 50 as far as I’m concerned”, he added.
The future – The marriage between the tennis player and the now ex-coach ended well and there was no shortage of praise from Ivanisevic: “With the cameras off and when he can be himself, Novak is a good person, with a big heart. I’ve always been ready to die for him if it were necessary, because he has always fought against the world.” Now that they are no longer together, Djokovic is preparing to prepare for the season on Red earth potentially without a coach. A name for the future, even just for a period of supervision, is that of Nenad Zimonjic who received the blessing from the former coach.
