The 56-year-old coach stated, “First of all, as a team, we are sharing every moment: preparation for matches, analysis, but not only that, we share passion, private things with our families as well. Novak is an amazing guy because he always brings positive energy. It is a blessing really to be a part of this team.”
Balancing act in Novak Djokovic’s duties
Marian explains that although he may not be present with Novak physically, he is yet updated with all the details of him. He mentioned the manner in which he and Goran switch duties. However, the one present with Djokovic at the tournament is the one being the bridge in their communication.

The Slovak further added, “As for the Slams, Goran and I communicate on a daily basis – voicemails, messages, etc. The day before the match, on the day of the match, every day. The coach who is present at the time is the one giving the final information to Novak – Goran now at Wimbledon, me at the French Open. It is only logical because when you are there, you know everything that is happening around the tournament and in the tournament.”
Coming to Novak, he recently confirmed that he will be part of the Tokyo Olympics 2020. After being in the best form of his life, it would be hard to disregard World No. 1 star from winning the Gold Medal this year. After that, he’ll compete in the North American region, with his focus on the US Open 2021.
