On Wednesday, March 27, Novak Djokovic announced his split from coach Goran Ivanisevic, who trained him for six years, following poor results earlier this year. The Croatian had joined the team of the legendary tennis player born in Belgrade in the summer of 2019, and together they won 24 titles, 9 of which were Grand Slam.
The most headline-grabbing tennis player in history revealed in an emotional post on Instagram that he will no longer work with Ivanisevic and that he loves him very much, thanking him for all his support over the past six years, while the former Croatian tennis player, Wimbledon champion 2021, responded with emoticons showing his gratitude.
The moment of the break between Djokovic and Ivanisevic, caught on camera. What did the Serbs discover?
However, a video from the Australian Open also appeared on social media, which became very relevant in this context of the breakup. In the first Grand Slam round of 2024, during the semifinal between Djokovic and Sinner, Nole was unable to find the right rhythm, but also no solutions to the Italian’s game, at which point he poured out all his anger on his own team.
In the video, Djokovic can be heard saying “You are not normal”. Even though the ATP leader covered his mouth, his words were heard clearly and the Serbians revealed what he said: “How weak you are—horrible! Horror, horror, all of you!”, clearly referring to members of their own team. Serbian journalists believe that this moment is defining for the breakup between Djokovic and Ivanisevic.
