According to Serbian journalist Sasa Ozmo, Djokovic will replace Panichi with an old acquaintance: the Austrian Gebhard Phil-Gritsch, 67, who was already part of the ‘Nole’ team as a physical trainer between 2009 and 2019 and who previously He was the coach of another tennis legend like the Austrian Thomas Muster, former world number one and winner of Roland Garros in 1995.

With the arrival of Gebhard Phil-Gritsch, the Austrian joins Djokovic’s staff in which the Spanish Carlos Gómez Herrera appears as Team Manager, while Milan Amanovic and Claudio Zimaglia serve as physiotherapists. A renewal in which Djokovic draws on the past to look with optimism and more experience if possible to the future.
