Novak Djokovic is currently the Australian Open and Wimbledon champion, as well as being the ATP No.1, and his coach Goran Ivanisevic has had his say on how long the Serb can keep playing for.
Djokovic added the 2001 Wimbledon champion to his coaching team four years ago, and has since collected seven major titles to add to his tally.
“I am sure that he [Djokovic] can go on for a few more years – two, three, four, I can’t put an exact number on it,” said Ivanisevic.
“His body is in perfect shape because he takes care of it so meticulously, he is always introducing something fresh into his regime.”
The Croat spoke of how the 35-year-old managed to win his tenth Australian Open title earlier this year, despite being hampered with a ‘three-centimetre tear’ to his hamstring.
“I mean, he won seven matches in Melbourne with half a leg, playing the way he played. His tennis keeps getting better and this is not just my opinion as his coach. Tennis commentators have noted the same and, most importantly, so have fellow players.”
Ivanisevic added, “For how long can he keep going like this, it depends on his motivations, desire, goals… A few more years for sure.”
