In a significant development for tennis fans, Novak Djokovic has appointed Dusan Vemic as his new coach, just days before competing at the Geneva Open. The news comes shortly after Djokovic’s split with Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, marking a new chapter in the Serbian star's team dynamics.
Vemic is no stranger to Djokovic or Serbian tennis. A longtime collaborator with both Serbian tennis and Novak Djokovic, Vemic has played a crucial role behind the scenes for years. His deep familiarity with Novak’s game, training style, and mental approach makes this coaching appointment a natural progression and one that his fans are enthusiastically welcoming.
The Geneva Open will serve as the pair's first official test together, with expectations high as Djokovic fine-tunes his game ahead of the French Open. While Djokovic has always been known for his adaptability and resilience, having a trusted figure like Vemic by his side could be the extra edge he needs during this critical part of the season.
"I still have the desire to win the biggest titles, to win the Grand Slams, to be one of the best players in the world,” said Novak Djokovic during an interview with Lequipe. “I feel I still have the game to be a Grand Slam contender. That's a great motivation,” added the Serbian as he geared up to compete at the Geneva Open.
With Novak Djokovic on a three match losing streak on clay, all eyes will now turn to how this new partnership unfolds on the court. It remains to be seen if this will be as short lived as the Murray partnership or if Djokovic continues it until the end of the season.
