Tennis legend Alex Corretja believes that Novak Djokovic will find a replacement for Marjan Vajda, although the Serbian tennis player said that he will not hire anyone else.
- “We see that all these top players need a super coach, or a great former player, who knows tennis perfectly and what it’s like to be on the court. They need someone who gives them great self-confidence, someone who does, so to speak, dirty work. ” – Corretja started for Eurosport.
- “Marjan was a coach, a former player, someone who knows the game very well and it is not so often that there is such a separation. Generally, coaches rotate, but such experts are usually kept constantly, especially with players who last a long time. In the end, it shows that the players need some fresh, new things, and Marjan may feel that he can’t give them to him. Or maybe he thinks in style, “okay, I’ve already given enough, I need a break or to think about myself, about my family.”
- “Novak will have to find someone who will be his extended arm because that was what Marjan did. If Novak gets upset on the field, Marjan knows exactly how to react and how to deal with such a moment, because he knows him very well. Maybe someone new will come and say, “don’t do this or that, or calm down.” ”
- “Maybe that irritates Novak, so I think he must know exactly what he wants from the profile of the next coach because otherwise he will be compared to Marjan all the time. And that can be inconvenient because Novak has at least three or four more years to play, so it will be very interesting to see who he will choose because it is a very important decision. ” – concluded Alex Corretja.
