A sensational decision by Djokovic, which leaves everyone speechless. The Serbian tennis player turns everything upside down and prepares for a new beginning
There is great anticipation around Novak Djokovic, number one tennis player in the world. Above all, however, there is great curiosity around his physical form. Indeed, while many of the greatest players took part in the Masters 1000 in Madrid this week, the Serbian decided to continue his preparation in Belgrade, to return stronger than ever later. Evidently he wasn’t feeling his best. In the next few days, the world number one is expected to participate in the tournament Romebefore embarking on the trip to Paris to participate in Roland Garros.
Before starting these tournaments, somewhat surprisingly, Djokovic made a decision that left everyone astonished. A small revolution for the Serbian tennis player, which will take effect immediately and will also last for the rest of the season.
Nole, in fact, will be accompanied by a new team, completely revolutionized. After having removed Goran Ivanisevic, in fact, Djokovic also announced the farewell of his athletic trainer, Marco Panichi.
Djokovic changes athletic trainer: the announcement
Djokovic himself made the announcement on Instagram: “Great Marco, who extraordinary years of collaboration we had. We got to the top, we won titles, we broke records. But most of all, I enjoyed our more ‘ordinary’ training days, in and out of the gym. Endless hours of training and laughter that left me feeling super motivated to set myself up for success. Thank you Romanista (as Goran calls you) for all the energy, commitment and time you have invested in making me the best player and the best person I can be. I send you lots of love and see you soon in Rome. Force!”
In any case, according to what ‘SportKlub’ reports, Djokovic will not remain alone for long. In fact, it seems that the 36-year-old has decided to call back and rely on again Gebhard Gritschready to return to his team.
For Gritsch it is a return given that he had in fact already worked with Djokovic, right before being replaced by Panichi in 2017. In view of the Masters 1000 in Rome the Serbian phenomenon is obviously expected to give some explanations on this decision too. At the same time there is great expectation on Nole, who is still called upon to win the first tournament of this limping start to 2024.
