The Serbian athlete added that with Ivanisevic “the chemistry on the court had its ups and downs” but their friendship “has always been solid as a rock.”. “I love you,” the tennis player told his former coach in that message.
Djokovic recalled the decision he made in 2018 with his then coach, Marian Vajda, to invite Ivanisevic to be part of the team in search of “changes and some magic for the serve.”

The tennis player, who led the ATP for 418 weeks, did not report who could replace Ivanisevic.
