The question mark that many fans have at the moment is what Novak Djokovic will do in 2025 and what will be his priorities or goal, after a season - looking at the results - below expectations.
For the first time since 2005, the Serbian champion has not won any ATP trophy in the season, but he has fulfilled his dream of winning the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (consequently obtaining the Career Golden Slam - ed.), which was his main goal of the year. Furthermore, Nole had not won at least one Slam in a season since 2017. These are unexpected numbers on the eve of 2025, which certify that something has changed in tennis.
The Big 3's domination, with only Nole left to defend that tennis era, seems to be coming to an end after an unprecedented twenty years. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are proving that they can be worthy replacements for those champions who have galvanized hordes of tennis fans in the last twenty years.
The SerbiaDavis Cup captain Viktor Troicki, in an interview with Sport Klub, spoke about the future of the 24-time Slam champion, focusing on the staff and the new coach who will follow the Serbian champion. Could it be a supercoach?
"I'm happy that Novak said that he is 100% starting preparations for the new season. We met briefly and I also heard that something was being born with a new coach, a big name. I don't know anything about it. These are the rumors I've heard, but I haven't had any certain news from him," he revealed, naturally intriguing fans.
After the partnership with Goran Ivanisevic - now coach of Elena Rybakina - Djokovic has no longer had a fixed technician as a point of reference. Perhaps his new coach will be the big news for the new year, with the aim of returning to win a Major. Maybe already from the Australian swing and the Australian Open.
Who will be this big name that will follow the Serbian champion? Many rumors have spoken of a comeback of Boris Becker or Marian Vajda. A suggestion, but not too much, considering how important the two have been for the career of the Serb. There are also those who have spoken of Ivan Ljubicic and Stefan Edberg, former coaches of Roger Federer. Or even Brad Gilbert, former coach of Coco Gauff. Australia is closer than you think and with it the new coach of Djokovic.
