"We've had some interesting discussions," Djokovic doesn't rule out working with Seles
At 38 years old, Novak Djokovic is approaching the end of his career. The Serb no longer has much stability in his team, especially when it comes to his coaches. Earlier this year, the former world number 1 began a collaboration with Andy Murray, but it didn't last.
In a press conference before starting the US Open against Learner Tien, the man with 24 Grand Slams did, however, admit that he would like to work with other big names in tennis in the future, including Monica Seles, who could become his advisor.
"It's as if you read my mind, but I can't say anything. We're only at the preliminary discussions, and it would be more on the emotional side rather than a long-term partnership.
It would mean a lot to me. We've had some interesting conversations. I think you know who I'm talking about, but let's not start naming names. She is one of my childhood idols, one of my heroes.
I'm at a stage in my career where I don't feel the need to have someone with me seven days a week, 24 hours a day, all year round. But I would really like to have big names by my side, for a tournament or two. I'm open to that. It will happen, or it won't," he stated to L'Équipe.
