Novak Djokovic has confirmed he has split from long-time coach Marian Vajda for a second time. The 20-time Grand Slam champion began working with Vajda in 2006 when he was a teenager and the Slovakian coach has been by his side for virtually his whole career. They briefly split in 2017 while Djokovic was struggling with injury and off-court problems but reunited the following year. Vajda has taken more of a back seat since Djokovic brought Goran Ivanisevic into his team in 2019 and it was revealed on Tuesday that player and coach agreed to go their separate ways at the end of last season.
