Novak Djokovic Announces New Coaching Setup
Djokovic's new coaching setup and his participation in the Geneva Open are crucial steps in his preparation for the French Open, where he hopes to claim a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title and prove that he is still one of the top contenders in the world of tennis.
Novak Djokovic has unveiled a new coaching setup in Geneva, following his recent split with coach Andy Murray, as he prepares to pursue his 100th tour-level title at the Geneva tournament.
Djokovic will be working with Goran Ivanisevic and Petio Marinkovic, who have both previously worked with him, and has stated that he is happy with his new setup. He will assess his coaching arrangement after the Paris tournament. Djokovic, who turns 38 on Thursday, has taken a wildcard into the Geneva Open, seeking to regain his rhythm before the French Open.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion has struggled on clay this year, suffering early exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid. Despite his recent struggles, Djokovic remains motivated and is seeking to win more trophies, including a record 25th Grand Slam title at the French Open. He will start his title bid at the Roland Garros warm-up event in Genova against Marton Fucsovics on Wednesday.
Djokovic has been without a coach since last week, when he parted ways with Murray, with whom he had a tough start to the season. However, he is comfortable with the people around him, including Dusan Vemic, his previous coach, and Boris Bosnjakovic, his assistant coach and analyst, who have arrived in Geneva to support him.
As Djokovic looks to build his form for Roland Garros and perform at the desired level to challenge the best players in the world, he remains confident in his abilities, stating that he knows what it takes to be a Grand Slam champion and is still connected to tennis.
