However, former World No. 41 Tennys Sandgren has a solution for the Serb&#8217;s form dip.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"1\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_1\" data-trigger-once=\"true\">Djokovic began his 2025 ATP Tour season campaign in less-than-ideal fashion, losing to Reilly Opelka in the quarterfinals of the Brisbane International. The 10-time Australian Open champion was then forced to retire after losing the first set of his last-four encounter against Alexander Zverev in Melbourne a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"2\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_2\" data-trigger-once=\"true\">The 24-time Major winner&#8217;s woes didn&#8217;t end here. The 37-year-old has since dropped his tournament openers matches at the Qatar Open and the Indian Wells Masters to Matteo Berrettini and Botic van de Zandschulp, respectively. In that context, ex-ATP pro Tennys Sandgren tongue-in-cheek insisted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday (March 10) that the former World No. 1 should hire him as a coach to get back to winning ways.<\/p>\n<div class=\"also-read-articles-container\" data-variant=\"3\" data-drop-off-point=\"\" data-imp-id=\"also_read_article_container\" data-trigger-once=\"true\">\n<div class=\"related-heading\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"related-articles\" class=\"related-articles\">\n<div class=\"related-articles-scroll\">\n<div class=\"article-single-related article-related-recommend\">\n<div class=\"article-related-title article-related-recommend-title\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"embed\">\n<div class=\"sk-embed-wrapper\" data-embed-type=\"tweet\">\n<div class=\"sk-embed-container\">\n<div class=\"sk-embed-content\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=true&amp;id=1898832775349768487&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportskeeda.com%2Ftennis%2Fnews-novak-djokovic-receives-lucrative-coaching-offer-ex-pro-never-won-serb-indian-wells-heartbreak&amp;sessionId=d1ec460e8939f15d4e6e3e477d5b3840d7ee0e2f&amp;siteScreenName=sportskeeda&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1898832775349768487\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-info-overlay\"><label for=\"sk_embed__tweet__0\">Expand Tweet<\/label><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The GOAT is struggling.

The 24-time Major winner notably beat him en route to his triumphs at 2018 Wimbledon, the 2018 US Open, the 2020 Cincinnati Masters and the 2021 French Open.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"4\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_4\" data-trigger-once=\"true\">Sandgren eventually hung up his racket in 2024 after spending thirteen years on the ATP Tour and the Challengers circuit. The 33-year-old won his lone pro title in singles at the 2019 ASB Classic. The highlights of his career came at the Australian Open, where he made it to the quarterfinals in 2018 and 2020.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Tennys Sandgren has previously come out in Novak Djokovic&#8217;s defense<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Novak Djokovic and Tennys Sandgren greet each other at 2018 US Open | Image Source: Getty\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg 1920w\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/2ca2a-17416261988574-1920.jpg?w=640\" \/><figcaption>Novak Djokovic and Tennys Sandgren greet each other at 2018 US Open | Image Source: Getty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-idx=\"5\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_5\" data-trigger-once=\"true\">For what it&#8217;s worth, Tennys Sandgren has also staunchly defended Novak Djokovic from his detractors in the recent past.
