Djokovic splits with fitness coach Panichi

Novak Djokovic announced on social media Tuesday that he has split with fitness coach Marco Panichi.

“Grande Marco, what amazing years of collaboration we’ve had. We reached the summit, won titles, broken records. But most of all, I have enjoyed our most “ordinary” days of training in and out of the gym,” Djokovic wrote on Instagram. “Endless hours of “carciofini” and laughs that made me feel super motivated to prepare for success. Grazie Romanista (as Goran calls you) for all the energy, effort and time you invested in making me the best possible player and person I can be.

“Much love ❤️ and I will see you soon in Roma. Forzaaaa”

Last month Djokovic announced he had split with coach Goran Ivanisevic, the former No. 2 in the PIF ATP Rankings.

Djokovic last week won the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award for a record-equalling fifth time after a standout 2023 season in which he won three of the four majors and the Nitto ATP Finals. The Serbian star is 11-4 this season and most recently competed in Monte-Carlo, where he reached the semi-finals.
