Their history together extends well beyond singles competition. The two occasionally partnered in doubles and helped Serbia win the ATP Cup in 2020, with Troicki returning as team captain the following year.
They have also shared success in Davis Cup competition. As Serbia’s team captain, Troicki has coached Djokovic in 18 matches, including throughout Serbia’s runs to the Davis Cup Finals semifinals in 2021 and 2023.
Troicki is another intriguing addition to the 38-year-old Djokovic’s coaching history—and not the first close friend he has brought into his camp.
After a lengthy partnership with former world No. 1 Goran Ivanisevic, Djokovic hired fellow former world No. 1 and three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray in 2025. The partnership ended after six months without a title.
