Novak Djokovic, the world No. 1 and 24-time Grand Slam champion, recently announced the end of his successful partnership with Croatian coach Goran Ivanisevic. Ivanisevic, a former Wimbledon singles champion in 2001, had been a key member of Djokovic's coaching team since 2019, contributing to 12 of Djokovic's major titles.
In an Instagram post, Djokovic shared that he and Ivanisevic mutually decided to part ways, emphasizing their strong friendship despite any on-court challenges they faced. Djokovic expressed gratitude for their time together and acknowledged the competitive spirit they shared, even beyond the tennis court.
Djokovic's recent performances include a semifinal loss at the Australian Open to Jannik Sinner, ending his impressive 33-game winning streak in Melbourne. Subsequently, a surprising defeat in the third round of Indian Wells by Luca Nardi prompted Djokovic to withdraw from the ongoing Miami Open, as he aims to carefully manage his tournament schedule for the year.
Looking ahead, Djokovic is now focusing on preparing for the upcoming clay season, with his sights set on capturing a fourth title at Roland Garros. The prestigious French Open is scheduled to take place from May 26 to June 9, offering Djokovic another opportunity to add to his impressive Grand Slam tally.
