Djokovic adds Goran Ivanisevic to his team for Wimbledon
The Croatian was spotted at practice with the world No. 1, and confirmed the update with Serbian press.
Just in time for Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic has added a familiar face to his team. According to Sascha Ozmo of Sport Klub, Goran Ivanisevic is helping the world No. 1.
"This is a huge recognition for me as a coach because Novak doesn't choose coaches just like that, he needs to see that someone can help him," Ivanisevic told Ozmo.
Djokovic's lead coach is still Marian Vajda.
"I am delighted that they've chosen me and I am happy that Marian is on board with it," Ivanisevic said. "First practice went really well and I hope that our collaboration will last."
Ivanisevic's presence at practice at the All England Club prompted Serbian press to investigate. Ivanisevic added that due to prior obligations, he may only be able to stay at Wimbledon for the first week. The Croatian won Wimbledon in 2001, and has coached Marin Cilic and Milos Raonic.
Djokovic is the defending champion and opens against Philipp Kohlschreiber on Monday.
