Novak Djokovic is unhappy that Goran Ivanisevic did not win the title of ATP Coach of the Year

In 2023, Novak Djokovic played in 4 Grand Slam finals and won 3 of them, and the Serb also won the Champions Tour, ending the year at the top of the ATP rankings.

However, Nole was not nominated in any category, because the heads of men’s tennis were formed based on the results of the ATP tournaments, and the Grand Slam tournaments do not fall under the auspices of this forum.

True, the Serbian coach Goran Ivanisevic was nominated for the award of the best coach of the year, but here he was the first.

For the first time in the history of tennis, the title went to the pair of coaches Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill, who are behind the huge progress of the Italian Yannick Sinner.

Apparently, Novak Djokovic did not remain indifferent and ironically congratulated Sinner’s staff.

“Congratulations to Darren and Simone on a great season with Yannick. Goran, I think we need to win all four grand slams next year for you to (maybe) be considered coach of the year. Finishing the year ranked No. 1, winning three Grand Slams, the Champions Tour and making history in this sport is not enough, my dear coach.” – he wrote on Instagram.

In addition, Yannick Sinner also won the People’s Favorite award, which was won by Rafael Nadal last year.

Roger Federer has won this award for 19 consecutive years.
