“Shock, pain, great emotion”
The Slovak has been looking after Djokovic with a short break since 2006 and alternates with Goran Ivanisevic in the tournament accompaniment. That’s why Vajda wasn’t there in Melbourne. Asked about his first feelings upon receiving the news of Djokovic’s expulsion, Vajda replied: “Shock, pain, great emotion. I don’t know how I would have endured it psychologically if I had been there myself. Even at home in Bratislava, I couldn’t sleep for bewilderment that something like this was possible.”
