Novak Djokovic and Goran Ivanisevic are to go their separate ways, the tennis world No 1 announced yesterday, ending a five-year association which yielded 12 Grand Slams.
Djokovic brought Croatia’s 2001 Wimbledon champion on board as a member of the coaching team ahead of the grass court Grand Slam in 2019 and although the Serbian admitted their “on-court chemistry had its ups and downs”, it also resulted in huge success.
“Goran and I decided to stop working together a few days ago,” Djokovic posted on Instagram. “Our on-court chemistry had its ups and downs, but our friendship was always rock solid. “In fact, I am proud to say (not sure he is) that apart from winning tournaments together, we also had a side battle in Parchisi going on . . . for many years,” he said, referring to the online game —SuperSport.
