Artaldi, together with his wife Elena Cappellaro, took care of Novak Djokovic's career for 13 years, but at the end of last year they ended their cooperation by mutual agreement, without harsh words and amicably.

Novak thanked them for all they've done for him in a post on Instagram.

"Dear Elena and Edoardo,

"It's difficult to describe everything we have been through together for 13 years of collaboration in one message...

My appreciation and love for you two personally goes beyond any professional relationship. What you did for me and my family privately and amount of care and empathy you had all these years especially towards my wife and kids is something very special for me and I will never forget that.

Together, we created history of tennis and reached incredible heights in this sport. Your contribution to the success is vital and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You will always remain in my heart as dearest friends and part of my family," reads Djokovic's message, posted along with a joint photo, and ending with, "Biggest hug and much love," written in Italian.
