The difficult moment continues for the Serbian who, overtaken by Medvedev in the standings, loses the Slovak coach who led him to success and greets one of his main sponsors. The cause, according to unconfirmed rumors, are the positions of he no-vax
Abandoned by the historic coach and one of the main sponsors. Novak Djokovic with his back to the wall: on Monday he lost the tennis throne (Medvedev the new number one in the world), now also the coach who led him to success, Marian Vajda, leaves him. Then Peugeot, which had been linked to him since 2014. All after the chaos of the Australian Open (the entry visa withdrawn, the court case, the expulsion), which evidently proved it.
Like a boxer on the ropes, now supported only by his family, who follow him even if he were a prophet, Novak greeted Vajda. The reasons for a separation that deeply intact the certainties of the Serbian are not yet known. Always tied in his successes to the coach with a gruff face hidden in his corner. Vajda no longer followed him in every tournament (he was not in Melbourne or even in Dubai), even for his age, 57 and to be more with his family, but the immediate goodbye was a surprise. Goran Ivanisevic, now the only coach, remains in the Serbian team, then the physiotherapists Ulises Badio and Miljan Amanovic and the Italian athletic trainer Marco Panichi.
In one fell swoop the 20 slam man also loses Peugeot, the brand that has supported him for eight years. We will not continue the sponsorship, said today Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, speaking of one of the most important testimonials, the Serbian tennis player, speaking with reporters before the presentation of the long-term strategic plan of the group. A choice that, according to Peugeot, is not linked to Djokovic’s decision not to get vaccinated. But discontent over Nole’s no-vax positions are increasingly widespread. In recent weeks, Lacoste has also said he wants to reconsider the situation of the Serbian. To date, at least in this case, there are no news.
