JAKARTA - Novak Djokovic is not sure who will be his new coach or even whether there will be a new coach. He said this the day after ending his five-year relationship with Goran Ivanisevic.

Djokovic brought the 2001 Croatian Wimbledon champion into his team members ahead of the grass field Grand Slam in 2019, and under his guidance won 12 of his 24 major titles in his career.

"Regarding the next stage of choosing a coach, I don't know for sure who it is and whether anyone will become a coach," Djokovic said, quoting Antara.

"I've always had a coach on my side, since I was young. I'm trying to feel good for me right now," he added.

Djokovic started this year badly according to his standards, losing to the Italian who finally won, Jannik Sinner, in the Australian Open semifinals.

The 36-year-old then lost to his Sinner compatriot Luca Nardi in the third half at Indian Wells, prompting him to withdraw from the ongoing Miami Open.

He is scheduled to return to the tour at the Monte Carlo Masters next month ahead of the second Grand Slam of the season, the French Open.
