Djokovic says in his search for a new coach, “Who knows who’s next.”

Belgrade – (AFP) A day after parting ways with Goran Ivanisevic after five years together, Novak Djokovic stated on Thursday that he didn’t know if he would have a new coach at all.

Before the 2019 grass court Grand Slam, Djokovic enlisted the 2001 Wimbledon champion from Croatia to strengthen his team. Under his leadership, the player went on to win 12 of his 24 career major titles.

Djokovic stated at a news conference in Belgrade, “As for my next step regarding a coach for me, I don’t have any clear idea who that might be and if anyone will be.”

Since I was a small child, coaches have always been by my side. I’m attempting to sense what feels right for me right now.”

Djokovic

has had a dismal start to the year by his own standards, falling short in the Australian Open semifinals against eventual winner Jannik Sinner.

The 36-year-old withdrew from the current Miami Open after losing to Sinner’s little-known countryman Luca Nardi in the third round in Indian Wells.

In preparation for the second Grand Slam of the year at the French Open, he is scheduled to make his comeback to the tour at the Monte Carlo Masters the following month.
