Novak Djokovic announces separation from fitness coach Marco Panichi
Novak Djokovic recently announced his separation from fitness coach Marco Panichi, following his split with long-time coach Goran Ivanisevic last month over poor showing in the 2024 season. Panichi joined Djokovic's team in 2019, aiding in his 10 Grand Slam victories.
Djokovic shared the news on Instagram, thanking Panichi for their journey together.
"Grande Marco, what amazing years of collaboration we’ve had. We reached the summit, won titles, broken 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 laughs that made me feel super motivated to prepare for success," Djokovic wrote on Instagram.
"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. Forzaaaa," Djokovic continued.
Nick Kyrgios defends Rafael Nadal’s gesture of gifting shirt to Pedro Cachin at Madrid Open
Nick Kyrgios dismissed a commentator’s critique concerning Pedro Cachin’s request for Rafael Nadal’s jersey following their third-round match at the Madrid Open. The Spaniard narrowly defeated Cachin with scores of 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-3, to advance to the last 16 where he eventually lost 7-5, 6-4 to 30th seed Jiri Lehecka.
Cachin, who had the opportunity to compete against a clay court legend in his final year on the tour, asked Nadal for his jersey after the match. This request drew varied reactions from journalists and tennis fans.
Kyrgios responded to one such critique by David Law, a BBC commentator and co-host of The Tennis Podcast.
"Sorry Pedro, asking for your opponents shirt at the net ain't it," David Law said.
"Why? NBA players, soccer players do it all the time? It’s a memory, an experience that took a life time of work and that less than 1% of humans get to. You wouldn’t understand," Nick Kyrgios replied
Ons Jabeur discusses the impact of her 2023 Wimbledon final loss on her family plans
Ons Jabeur shared the personal distress that she and her husband Karim Kamoun endured after her 6-4, 6-4 defeat in the 2023 Wimbledon Championships final against Marketa Vondrousova.
In an interview with The Guardian, Jabeur revealed that she and her husband had plans to start a family, but her loss disrupted it.
"I think it was meant to be. Maybe I’m not ready to be a mum yet. Hopefully I can get that title because I really, really want it. Obviously now coming from a couple of very difficult months, I will try to get there and hopefully one day I can be a mum and bring my kid to the tour," Jabeur said.
Ons Jabeur recently concluded her Madrid Open campaign, where she lost 0-6, 7-5, 6-1 to 18th seed Madison Keys in the quarterfinals.
