Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic revealed the current state of his coach in his professional tennis career. Djokovic announced a split with his long-term coach, Goran Ivanisevic, recently. This announcement stormed the internet since Ivanisevic and Djokovic’s six-year-long collaboration brought the world’s number-one tennis star a bag full of Grand Slam titles, including his Australian Open tournament win this season.

Djokovic’s current coaching situation has sparked a lot of curiosity among the tennis fraternity and his fans. However, following his recent revelation, Novak Djokovic has yet to decide on anything about his professional tennis endeavors.

Confused Djokovic lacks “a clear idea” about his new coach after splitting with Goran Ivanisevic

Djokovic’s statement about splitting with his long-term coach, Goran Ivanisevic, raised a much-thought-out question among his fans. This was about the person taking on the role of his new coach after Ivanisevic. This question also intrigued Djokovic’s old friend and former colleague, Andy Roddick. However, the Serbian legend seems to be still confused about it. A reliable tennis source shared this world’s number-one tennis star’s thoughts about his next step.

Djokovic said, “I still don’t have a clear idea who a new coach would be, or whether there will be one at all. I’ve had coaches since I was a kid, now I am trying to feel by myself what I need, what I feel most comfortable with. You will be informed in case someone joins the team.” Djokovic’s message surprised the fraternity since they thought Djokovic might proceed in his professional tennis career without any coach.

Ivanisevic and Djokovic bagged twelve major titles in their collaboration, which makes their collaboration a famous partnership in the sport. That is why Djokovic’s announcement came as a shock to many people. Sharing the news, this Serbian legend wrote, “Goran and I decided to stop working together a few days ago. Our on court chemistry had its ups and downs, but our friendship was always rock solid. Sefinjo, thanks for everything my friend. Love you,” 

Djokovic might be confused about choosing his next coach, but fans are already curious to know what made this tennis legend part ways with his coach and friend Goran Ivanisevic.

Why did Novak Djokovic end his partnership with Goran Ivanisevic?

Other than being curious about Novak Djokovic’s next coach, fans are intrigued to know why these successful tennis partners finally split after six long years. Now, a tennis analyst named Craig Shapiro mentioned that a conflict between Ivanisevic and Djokovic during this year’s Indian Wells tournament started the fire of conflict. Apparently, Ivanisevic was not satisfied with Djokovic’s practice during the BNP Paribas Open tournament and it led to their break up.

Fans somehow had a hint about this after last year’s French Open finals. This veteran coach dropped a shocking revelation about Djokovic. He commented- “He’s not an easy guy, let’s put it this way. Especially when something’s not going his way. He keeps you stressed, the stress level is always high. It never goes down. But every day you learn something.” Ivanisevic’s comment expresses that all was not going well between him and the Serbian tennis legend.

Novak Djokovic’s comment about his next coach showcased that this world’s number one tennis star is currently confused about his next move. However, his statement also suggested that he might self-coach himself after Ivanisevic left the team. Nevertheless, fans have to wait and see what Djokovic announces next about his professional tennis career.
