When asked how long he intended to stay with Novak Djokovic, the 55-year-old replied:

"I hope until he breaks all records. Let's start by winning more than 20 Grand Slams together!"

Vajda, who won the ATP Coach of the Year award in 2018, shared the secret behind his success and continued:

"If you have such a long friendship with him as I have, for so many years, then you will succeed! We are like a family. And the magic word is - compromise. It always has to be. There are no other secrets. In the beginning, when I was a very young coach, it was not easy with Novak. Both he and his family wanted to be the best in the world. So, I had to be a perfect coach to fulfill his and his family's dreams."
