Novak Djokovic said he was unsure who would be his new coach, or even if there would be one, a day after ending a five-year association with Goran Ivanisevic .
Djokovic had brought 2001 Wimbledon champion Ivansevic on board as a member of his team ahead of the grass court season in 2019 and under his guidance won 12 of his 24 career major titles.
“Concerning my following stage about a coach for me I don’t have any clear idea who that might be and if anyone will be,” Djokovic said at a press conference in Belgrade.
“I have always had coaches by my side, since I was young. I am trying to feel what is good for me in this moment.”
Djokovic has had a poor start to 2024 by his lofty standards, losing to eventual champion Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open semi-finals.
The 36-year-old then lost to Italy’s Luca Nardi in the third round at Indian Wells , prompting him to withdraw from the ongoing Miami Open.
He is due to return to action at the Monte Carlo Masters next month in the build-up to the season’s second Grand Slam at the French Open.
