Novak Djokovic is here to stay, save for a few more Grand Slam events,” said Rick Macci, the former coach of Serena Williams.
Despite the bad talk following his 2024 Australian Open semi-final exit, Novak Djokovic, according to Serena Williams’ former coach Rick Macci, still has lots more in store.
Jannik Sinner put an end to the Serb’s quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam victory in Melbourne at the beginning of the year. That day, Djokovic’s considerably younger opponent defeated him 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3. There was a lot of media conjecture on the player’s future after his shocking loss.
Despite all the controversy, Rick Macci, the former coach of Serena and Venus Williams, staunchly defended Djokovic, saying that he will keep vying for the major tennis titles and that people shouldn’t write him off so quickly.
Macci has also previously been a strong advocate for Djokovic. He said in November of last year that the Serb, together with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, had the “best career” of the Big 3.
He gave special recognition to Fererer’s serve and Naldal’s topspin, but Djokovic was the clear winner in his opinion.
