ジョコビッチ、コーチのイワニセビッチ氏と関係解消

【パリＡＦＰ＝時事】男子テニス世界ランキング１位のノバク・ジョコビッチ（セルビア）は２７日、コーチのゴラン・イワニセビッチ氏との関係を解消したと発表した。（写真は、全豪オープンテニスの会場で練習に臨むノバク・ジョコビッチ〈左〉とコーチのゴラン・イワニセビッチ氏）
　自身のインスタグラムで、「数日前、共に活動するのをやめることをゴランと一緒に決めた」と明かし、「私たちのコート上での関係には浮き沈みがあったが、友情は常に揺るぎないものだった」とした上で、イワニセビッチ氏に感謝を述べた。
　ジョコビッチは、２０１９年のウィンブルドン選手権から０１年の同大会王者であるイワニセビッチ氏を招へいし、５年間で数々の四大大会（グランドスラム）優勝を果たした。
　しかし、今季は最終的に大会を制したヤニック・シナー（イタリア）に敗れ全豪オープンで準決勝敗退に終わるなど、自身の高い水準からすれば開幕から苦戦が続いている。
　最近ではＢＮＰパリバ・オープン３回戦で伏兵のルカ・ナルディ（イタリア）に敗れ、今週のマイアミ・オープンはスケジューリングを理由に出場を取りやめていた。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

Novak Djokovic and Goran Ivanisevic are to go their separate ways, the tennis world number one announced on Wednesday, ending a five-year association which yielded 12 Grand Slams.
Djokovic brought Croatia's 2001 Wimbledon champion on board as a member of the coaching team ahead of the grass court Grand Slam in 2019 and although the Serbian admitted their on-court chemistry had its ups and downs, it also resulted in huge success.
However, Djokovic has had by his high standards a poor start to the year, losing to eventual champion Jannik Sinner of Italy in the Australian Open semi-finals.
The 36-year-old Serbian then lost to Sinner's unheralded compatriot Luca Nardi in the third round at Indian Wells, prompting him to withdraw from the Miami tournament for what he claimed were scheduling reasons.
Goran and I decided to stop working together a few days ago, Djokovic posted on Instagram.
Our on court chemistry had its ups and downs, but our friendship was always rock solid.
In fact, I am proud to say (not sure he is) that apart from winning tournaments together, we also had a side battle in Parchisi going on? for many years, he said, referring to the online game.
And -? that tournament never stops for us. ?efinjo, thanks for everything my friend. Love you.
Djokovic said the volatile and charismatic Ivanisevic had brought more than just his tennis acumen to the partnership, which was exactly what he and his then head coach Marian Vajda had been looking for.
I remember clearly the moment I invited Goran to be part of my team, said Djokovic.
It was back in 2018, and Marian (Vajda) and I were looking to innovate and bring some serve magic to our duo.
In fact, not only we brought serve, but also lots of laughter, fun, year end no1 rankings, record breaking achievements and 12 more Grand Slams (and a few finals) to the count since then.
