Goran Ivanisevic spills the beans on divorce from Novak Djokovic

Goran Ivanisevic open-hearted about divorce from Novak Djokovic

During an interview at the microphones of "Sport Klub", Novak Djokovic&#39s now former coach Goran Ivanisevic è spoke open-heartedly about the separation from the world number one and the reasons that led to this decision.

"There isn't really a real reason. One of the reasons è just a sense of fatigue, it was five really difficult and intense years. People forget that period during the coronavirus, where Nole è was labeled the biggest villain on the planet for the history of vaccination. We came to a sense of saturation, of material fatigue, and in the end we basically got tired of each other. In any case, in my heart, I felt I couldn&#39t help him anymore. We sat down the day after the defeat with Nardi and talked. I am really glad I did it in person and not via message" began the former Croatian tennis player.

" It was exciting, a great honor and a great responsibility. I am proud. It's been a very nice journey, but also turbulent. I&#39ll be eternally grateful to Novak, he offered me a unique opportunity and no one can ever take away the results we have achieved" continued the Serb&#39s former coach.

"Wimbledon 2023 was a hard blow, becauseè that defeat also affected me as a coach. Obviously kudos must be given to Alcaraz, but the match could have changed with one or two points. In Cincinnati è it was incredible and then è came the success at the US Open. It was at that moment that I had the feeling that everything was near the end. It was just a matter of when" added the Split native.

In conclusion, Goran Ivanisevic è dwelt on Djokovic’s defeat to Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open: "Nothing tragic happened, it wasn’t that he lost in the first round, he lost to a guy who was younger and played better. I don’t know what happened to Nole in that match. Sinner è too good and against him you can’t afford to go down the court without giving 100 percent, becauseè even giving your best doesn’t è necessarily mean you can beat him".
