After Novak Djokovic‘s brilliant victory at the Australian Open, a few days back, the 22-time Grand Slam champion’s coach shared his old prophecy that he made nearly a decade ago. It was back when the Swiss Maestro was ruling the tennis circuit. However, with this old prophecy, Goran Ivanisevic appears to be hinting something to Roger Federer.
