Ulises Badio has been Novak Djokovic's physiotherapist and trusted man in his team since 2017.
In Turin, where he monitors the Serbian's health "24 hours a day", he speaks to AS about his work and his relationship with him.
"He is not from this planet," says the Italian-Argentine.

Ulises Badio is part of Novak Djokovic's team and was also stranded in Australia with the Serbian; how he came to work with "Nole" and what is his role within the team.

While all eyes are fixed on Novak Djokovic’s bid for a record-extending ninth Australian Open title, there is a man behind the curtain who is making it possible for Novak to even step on the court.
His name is Ulises Badio and this is his story.

Novak Djokovic is undoubtedly one of the best players in the history of tennis.
However, behind every figure in world sport, there is a team in which everyone contributes.
In the case of the Serbian, a key piece for him is an Argentine.

Novak Djokovic is preparing to return to the circuit. Having recently become a father for the second time - his wife Jelena gave birth to little Tara at the beginning of September - the Serbian has managed to get Andre Agassi to continue to accompany him in 2018.
And he has added an Argentine to his team: the physiotherapist Ulises Badio.
