Djokovic finals plans upset as coach returns home

Novak Djokovic’s ATP Finals plans have been upset after coach Goran Ivanisevic was forced to leave Turin after his son tested positive for covid.

The world No 1 arrived in Turin last week with both Ivanisevic and his other coach Marian Vajda.

While his son is currently said to be fine, Ivanisevic decided to return home as he wanted to be with him.

The Serb is looking to win his sixth title at the championships, which would see him equal rival Roger Federer’s record.

Djokovic has been drawn in the Green Group alongside Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud.
