Novak Djokovic’s turbulent start to 2022 took another twist Wednesday as the 20-time Grand Slam champion revealed he had split from his long-time coach Marian Vajda after last year’s ATP Finals. Djokovic lost his No.1 ranking to Russian Daniil Medvedev. 

“Marian has been by my side during the most important and memorable moments in my career,” said Djokovic on his official website. Djokovic began working with the Slovakian coach since he was a teenager in 2006, though they split for a year in 2017.
