Novak really has a problem with schedules," says Ivanisevic about Djokovic

Le 09/08/2025 à 13h58 par Arthur Millot

Djokovic's coach for five years (2019 to 2024), Ivanisevic shared many successes with the Serb, including 9 Grand Slams and seven Masters 1000 titles. Speaking to Sportal, the 53-year-old revealed one of the few flaws of the 100-title legend.

"Novak Djokovic is truly special. He is different, and he is the best. His thirst and desire to improve are incredible. You can learn a lot from him.

However, he also has an Achilles' heel, and it's no secret: he is always late. Novak really has a problem with schedules. He is never on time. And everyone knows it, everyone is already used to it."

For context, the two parted ways by mutual agreement in 2024. The Croatian had commented on the decision in an interview with our colleagues at L’Équipe: "There isn’t really one 'true' reason. One of the reasons is more a feeling of saturation, of fatigue—these five years have been really tough and intense.
