Djokovic has been providing tips to a rising star of the WTA Tour as 18-year-old Iva Jovic revealed she is in frequent discussion with the 24-time Slam winner.<\/p>\n<p>Given he is the most successful male player of all-time and still competing, not to mention a father of two, it is fair to assume that Djokovic may not have time to watch tennis matches aside from his future opponent\u2019s but that has been revealed to not be the case by rising American player Jovic who has been getting some tips from the Serbian.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the WTA 500 event in Charleston, Jovic revealed the \u201csurreal\u201d feeling of having had Djokovic watch some of her matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s given me some great tips. I can tell that he has watched my matches, which is surreal,\u201d Jovic told the Tennis Channel. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018How do you even have time for that? How am I on your priority list?\u2019 But it\u2019s incredible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe gives me some very specific takes about some tactics I can play, some different versatility I can add into my game, so I\u2019ve been trying to do it. Me and my coach have a joke, where he says, \u2018If you don\u2019t want to listen to me, listen to Novak at least!\u2019, because they\u2019re saying the same thing but it\u2019s a little different when it comes from Novak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE ON DJOKOVIC ON T365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-schedule-tournament-director-reveals-tennis-great-keen-to-play-key-clay-event\"><strong>Novak Djokovic schedule: Tournament director reveals tennis great \u2018keen\u2019 to play key clay event<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/monte-carlo-masters-withdrawal-list-players-join-novak-djokovic-sidelines\"><strong>Monte Carlo Masters withdrawal list: More players join Novak Djokovic on the sidelines<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-goat-tennis-pat-cash\"><strong>Novak Djokovic cannot be called the GOAT of tennis, claims former Wimbledon champion<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As for why Djokovic may have taken an interest in Jovic, they have a shared nationality for although the latter represents America, she has a Serbian father.<\/p>\n<p>She is not the only one to have received some Djokovic tips though and suggested the 38-year-old \u201creally makes time for young players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how he does it,\u201d said Jovic. \u201cHe\u2019s a husband, he\u2019s a father, he\u2019s the greatest tennis player of all time. He knows, what, seven languages? I don\u2019t know. Everyone needs a time-management plan from Novak, because I don\u2019t know how he does it. But he really makes time for young players and wants to help them, which is great.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a direct line [to him]. I try not to bother him too much, but I text him throughout tournaments especially, when we are at the same place,\u201d said Jovic. \u201cEvery time I see him, we have a good chat, so I\u2019m hoping he stays around the Tour longer!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiateks-11-word-message-announces-new-chapter-new-coach\">Iga Swiatek\u2019s 11-word message as she announces \u2018new chapter\u2019 with new coach<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018He\u2019s given me some great tips\u2019 \u2013 rising star reveals Novak Djokovic coaching input Sam Cooper 02 Apr 2026 5:30 PM Novak Djokovic has been lending his support to a rising star of the tour.
