Troicki is no stranger to Djokovic’s team, having served as part of his coaching staff during the Serbian star’s gold medal run at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He also captains Serbia’s Davis Cup squad, a team that included both Djokovic and Troicki when they secured the nation’s first title in 2010. Their best joint result on the ATP Tour came in 2017, reaching the quarterfinals of Indian Wells together.
