Every grand slam title that Novak Djokovic has won was with coach Marian Vajda. But Djokovic has split with Vajda at the end of last year. He shared the news on social media with a message.

Djokovic said:

Marian has been by my side during the most important and memorable moments in my career. Together we have achieved some incredible things and I am very grateful for his friendship and dedication over the last 15 years. While he might be leaving the professional team he will always be family and I can’t thank him enough for all he has done.

Djokovic has been coached by Boris Becker, Andre Agassi, Radek Stepanek, and Goran Ivanisevic. While Djokovic has used a number of coaches in his career, Vajda has been with him for most of his career.

During my time with Novak, I have been lucky to watch him transform into the player he is today. I will look back on our time together with immense pride and am so very thankful for the success we have achieved, I remain his biggest support on and off the court and I look forward to new challenges.

Novak Djokovic hasn’t played much tennis in 2022. He was deported from Australia due to visa issues and missed the Australian Open. He lost in the early rounds in Dubai. He will miss the US swing – Indian Wells and Miami- due to his vaccination status. US requires all visitors to be vaccinated but Djokovic has refused to be vaccinated.

Iga Swiatek made a conscious decision to play aggressive tennis in 2022. The new aggression and attitude are producing great results for Swiatek as she is winning matches easily.

Right now I have more moments when I can feel that I have nothing to lose and I’m going all in. Actually, you know, before really I didn’t want to take that risk, because I didn’t want to be that kind of player who is just going to shoot the balls and we’re going to see if it’s going to be in or out

I wanted always to be solid and be the kind of clay court player who is going to play topspin and stay back, but really, right now tennis is getting faster and faster. You can see that in tournaments.

Players who are, you know, attacking and leading are winning. I wanted to also learn how to do that. They convinced me basically to do that, because at first, yeah, I had that attitude that, Hey, I’m happy with my solid game, you know. But this is actually making my matches easier, so I don’t know why I was so stubborn!

At such a young age, Iga Swiatek has been able to make adjustment to her game. She also with a sports psychologist to keep up her mental fitness. If she could improve her serve, which can be a liability sometimes, she will be a formidable force in women’s tennis.
