After a seven-year relationship, Novak Djokovic has split from fitness coach Marco Panichi.
Djokovic has been reorganizing his coaching staff in 2024, as he departed from coach Goran Ivenisevic in April after an early withdrawal from Indian Wells.
The most recent casualty appears to be Panichi, who became a member of Djokovic’s coaching staff in 2017. Winning a 24-time Grand Slam victory, the Italian was commended for his service on Instagram.
Djokovic wrote on Instagram: “What amazing years of collaboration we’ve had. We reached the summit, won titles, and broke records. But most of all, I have enjoyed our most ordinary days of training in and out of the gym. Endless hours of Carciofini and laughter made me feel super motivated to prepare for success. Grazie Romanista (as Goran calls you) for all the energy, effort and time you invested in making me the best possible player and person I can be. Much love and I will see you soon in Roma.”
