Goran Ivanisevic who joined Novak Djokovic's team earlier on this year has detailed the Serbian's plans for next year and said that they will start training early next week.

Ivanisevic said thought that in upcoming tournaments, Djokovic will only have one coach with him; so him and Marian Vajda will take it in turns.

He will be going to the Australian Open though mainly as he is playing in the legends tournament.

“We start with training on December 9 in Monte Carlo and on the 16th we go to the exhibition in Abu Dhabi.” Ivanisevic outlined. “Then, by Christmas in Dubai, when Vajda takes over the lead role and goes to Australia with Novak.”

“Novak wants to have only one coach with him. So Marianne and I agreed that he would be at the Australian Open and at Roland Garros and I at Wimbledon and the US Open.” He explained. “A similar division will be in other competitions. I will be in Melbourne too, but because of the veteran tournament I like to participate in.”
