Strategy, skill, and mental fortitude collide and play a crucial role in tennis, but the 24-time Grand Slam champion takes it up a notch. Ivanisevic offered a unique perspective on Novak Djokovic’s approach to the game. The seasoned coach drew quite a compelling analogy as he likened Djokovic to a CEO, someone who meticulously steers a company to prosperity.
Ivanisevic’s comparison also shifts to a description of the day-to-day life of Djokovic. In his interview with Marca, he said, “A good analogy would be to name Novak Djokovic as a CEO of a company.” He further said: “He seeks and demands profits. Those profits distinguish him from others. Like losses in a company, if he loses, he loses market share, resulting in a drop in the rankings. Nole, like any elite player, finds this too difficult to handle.”

Djokovic’s struggle with setbacks
Djokovic is often hailed for his indomitable spirit on the tennis court. Although, even he finds himself grappling with an unfamiliar adversary of losing at times. The event of his loss to Jannik Sinner in the Davis Cup resonated deeply in the World No.1’s mindset. In a sport where winning is a routine for Djokovic, each setback becomes a profound moment of introspection.
Since that encounter, Djokovic seems to carry the burden of perceived failure. This is an unusual territory for the tennis maestro. The unaccustomed taste of defeat leaves a lasting imprint on his CEO-like approach as well. This has forced him to recalibrate strategies and reignite the pursuit of profits on the court.
