'Very important decision' - Novak Djokovic must get next coach right ahead of French Open, says Alex Corretja

Novak Djokovic must get the decision of his next coach right ahead of the French Open, says Eurosport's Alex Corretja. The 56-year-old Vajda had scaled back his role after Goran Ivanisevic was added to Djokovic's coaching staff for Wimbledon in 2019 — but they have now made a clean break. Vajda did not attend the recent Dubai Tennis Championships nor accompany Djokovic to Melbourne for his ill-fated tilt at the Australian Open.

Ad/> Sasa Ozmo of Tennis Majors revealed the development had actually been mutually agreed back in late 2021, with his report stating that Djokovic will retain the services of Ivanisevic, physiotherapists Ulises Badio and Miljan Amanovic, and fitness co-ordinator Marco Panichi.

You have been by my side during the most important and memorable moments.

We have achieved the unachievable and I will forever be grateful for your friendship and dedication. You will always be my family and I can’t thank you enough for everything.» Djokovic, who has lost the world No. 1 ranking to Daniil Medvedev and also admitted defeat in terms of playing at Indian Wells and in Miami due to his vaccination status, must now make the right call for the sake of the next few years, believes Corretja.
