Panichi, former physical trainer of Djokovic: "We can still expect anything from Novak"
Novak Djokovic continues to inspire respect from his former collaborators. Marco Panichi, architect of his greatest triumphs, offers a lucid and admiring perspective on the Serbian champion.
As Novak Djokovic's physical trainer from 2017 to 2024, Marco Panichi contributed to the Serbian's numerous Grand Slam triumphs, with Djokovic winning 12 of his 24 Majors after turning 30.
Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, Panichi commented on Djokovic's 2025 season, where he reached the semifinals in all Grand Slam tournaments:
"It will be difficult to replicate this performance when other players reach his age. He might have better chances in best-of-three-set matches.
And by not training like he used to, whether due to his age or motivation, it becomes more difficult to manage his energy. But we can expect anything from Novak."
