Novak Djokovic news: World No 2 has allegedly split from his long-term coach

The two split for a brief period in 2017 but they reunited the year after, however they could be about to split again due to the uncertainty around the world No 2’s career because of his refusal to have the Covid-19 vaccine which caused massive controversy in Australia ahead of the season opening Grand Slam.
