Novak Djokovic has enjoyed plenty of success in his illustrious tennis career.The 38-year-old has lifted 24 Grand Slam titles, a record he shares with Australia’s Margaret Court.Some of that success was achieved with Goran Ivanisevic as his coach, himself a Grand Slam winner during his playing days.The pair ended their coaching partnership in March 2024 but Ivanisevic still watches Djokovic’s progress and is interested in seeing how far he can go at Wimbledon.Photo by Dan Istitene/Getty ImagesGoran Ivanisevic thinks Novak Djokovic can reach the Wimbledon semi-finalsIvansevic guided Novak Djokovic to three of his Wimbledon titles during his time as the former world number one’s coach. Djokovic also reached the final in 2023 when he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in a pulsating five-set matchup.‘In 2025, the world number six is searching for an eighth Wimbledon title, which would equal the record tally set by Roger Federer.Assessing the Serbian’s chances of going all the way at the All England Club this season, Ivanisevic thinks Djokovic can reach the semi-finals and disagrees with the notion that this is his last shot at winning another major.“Looking at the draw, I don’t think no one can beat Djokovic before the semis, and he’s never lost to Sinner here. OK, Australian Open and Roland Garros, but here Novak’s beaten him twice.“In my view, Novak’s the favourite, no matter how sentimental that sounds. Alcaraz has beaten him twice, but last year Novak came after knee surgery, and in 2023 we all remember how close it was.More Tennis News“Everyone says this is his last chance — I don’t agree. Plus, he’s the best grass-court player, experienced, he knows exactly what it takes here. It’ll be fascinating.”Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesNovak Djokovic could meet Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semi-finalsThere are still several players who stand in Djokovic’s way of becoming an eight-time Wimbledon champion.One of those competitors could be Jannik Sinner, who is aiming for his first Wimbledon title and fourth Grand Slam overall.This would be a rematch of the French Open semi-finals in June, which Sinner won 6-4, 7-5, 7-6.Djokovic has lost five of his last six meetings with the ATP’s world number one, but he did win their two previous meetings at Wimbledon in 2022 and 2023.
