Recently, Marian spoke about Novak’s recent performance at the Australian Open. He regrets not being beside him while the Serb lifted his 18th Grand Slam title. He gave an insight into the preparations prior to Novak’s departure to Australia and was content that his training came to use in the final of the tournament.

The 55-year-old coach said, “I was sorry I wasn’t there. I will never forget when he won his first Melbourne title in 2008 and what was going on in the locker room. I wish I was with him now. We were together in Marbella, during December.
“Two weeks of intensive training, fitness work. We worked on service, first and second. Also on the back, which is especially important in all matches. It was a pleasure to watch from this distance how he used it all in the final against Medvedev.”
