Novak Djokovic has continued to trim down his team this season.
The Serb recently announced his separation from longtime fitness coach Marco Panichi. This comes after his split with former coach Goran Ivanisevic.
Marco Panichi joined Novak Djokovic’s coaching team in 2019. Panichi is a renowned figure in tennis circles and has previously worked with Li Na and Fabio Fognini, as well as the national teams of Italy, Germany, and more. Together, Panichi and Djokovic won 10 Grand Slam titles.
Their successful association has now come to an end as the Serb took to Instagram to announce the conclusion of their “collaboration.” The 36-year-old fondly recalled going to the peak of tennis stardom together. He looked back at their gym sessions and thanked the Italian coach for his effort and time.
“Grande Marco, what amazing years of collaboration we’ve had. We reached the summit, won titles, broken records. But most of all, I have enjoyed our most “ordinary” days of training in and out of the gym. Endless hours of “carciofini” and laughs that made me feel super motivated to prepare for success,” Djokovic wrote on Instagram.
“Grazie Romanista (as Goran calls you) for all the energy, effort and time you invested in making me the best possible player and person I can be. Much love ❤️ and I will see you soon in Roma. Forzaaaa,” he continued.
