🎙️Novak Djokovic on coach Goran Ivanisevic: "Goran is a friend for life." "Quite simply, the saturation point has been reached. We felt it was time to part ways." "We wrote the pages of the history of #tennis, won countless Grand Slams, finished in 1st place for so many years."
"I'm out of the tennis business but...": Jimmy Connors throws hat into the ring to be Novak Djokovic's next coach

The rumour mill has been going haywire despite Novak Djokovic saying he may not even appoint a new coach after the World No.1 and 24-time Grand Slam champion split with coach of six years, Goran Ivanisevic.
But while being out of the tennis business, Jimmy Connors threw his hat into the ring if the opportunity arose after his son Brett Connors put the proposition to him. Other picks from Andy Roddick and John Lloyd include Boris Becker and Marian Vajda returning as well as a left-field choice in John McEnroe.
"I'm out of the tennis business Brett. I love doing a tennis podcast and hanging with you and talking tennis but you know, if the opportunity arose, it would certainly be a pleasure, an honor if he would even throw my name in the hat," said Jimmy Connors on the Advantage Connors Podcast.
"But as far as it goes, we were just talking about Danielle Collins and how life changes and life goes on and right now, I’m happy doing what I’m doing now. I love my life, I love everything about it."
"I think it would be an interesting dynamic because you guys are similar. Out of the Big 3 players, I always feel like Novak's and your game kind of match up the most," responded his son Brett Connors.
"You get compared to Nadal the way you give everything and try on every point but with Djokovic, the return, the backhand, coming in."
"He doesn't play every week, that’s one of the things that might benefit. You don’t want to be on the road 40 weeks a year but neither does he. He’s probably only playing kind of the big events. Djoker, give him a call if you're thinking about it."
