Marian Vajda Suggests Roger Federer’s Distant Rapport with Novak Djokovic Turned Productive for Nole.
|Novak Djokovic, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, has collaborated with numerous tennis legends throughout his remarkable career. Toni Nadal, in his book, shed light on Marian Vajda’s perspective during his tenure as Novak’s coach, particularly focusing on the dynamic between tennis icon Roger Federer and Novak, and how their relationship, both on and off the court, contributed to Djokovic’s current level of excellence.
Toni wrote in the book, stating, “Indeed, Marian Vajda. He was exceptional. He was another one who had immense admiration for Federer. He also mentioned to Simon that he appreciated the fact that Roger married a Slovak. He discussed how Novak and Roger weren’t as emotionally close as Roger and Rafa, and he believed this separation was advantageous for Novak, as it provided him with the necessary space to compete and strive to surpass him.
It’s undeniably true that in terms of success and fan favoritism, Novak wasn’t initially in the same league as Federer and Nadal. However, with the passage of time, Novak harnessed this as motivation to propel himself even further, pushing his boundaries to the absolute maximum. When Vajda started working with Novak, he was still a budding player aspiring to establish himself in the sport. Yet, as their careers evolved, it was Djokovic who continued to shine.
Will Novak Djokovic keep his stranglehold on the competition?

Absolutely, Novak Djokovic is known for constantly astonishing fans, and this has been a consistent trait throughout his illustrious career. He has consistently exceeded expectations, excelling even when he was considered the second-best, and he’s displayed resilience by responding to fans, even in challenging moments. It’s precisely these qualities that cement his status as the greatest ever in men’s tennis.
Despite being at the pinnacle of the sport for nearly a decade, there’s an expectation that this player will eventually succumb to the effects of aging. However, he recently revealed that retirement isn’t a concern for him. He remains confident in his ability to perform at the highest level and add to his Grand Slam collection. Following his surprising loss to Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon, he’s now back in action at the Cincinnati Masters, and it appears he’s already made it to the finals, gearing up for a shot at redemption.
