The former German player Boris Becker is the new coach of Novak Djokovic. He has taken over from Marian Vajda who had been coaching the Serbian player since the last 7 years.
A few weeks back, Djokovic was replaced as the no. 1 player in the world by the Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal and he is really disappointed about it. He wants to get at the top of the World rankings again and to get there soon, he has secured the services of Becker.
Becker has been considered as one of the greatest players produced by Germany ever. He won a total of 49 singles title in his career out of which 6 were the Grand Slams. He retired from the game in 1999.
However, Djokovic has made it quite clear that he is not going to part ways with Vajda. He will remain a part of his team.
Talking to the reporters after the appointment of Becker as his new coach, Djokovic said, “Boris has been a great player himself. He has got immense knowledge of the game and spending time with him is definitely going to help me.”
“Marian will remain there. He along with Boris will form a fantastic combination. I am sure these two guys are going to help me claim a lot of titles in future.”
When asked about his goals for the next season, the Serbian superstar said, “All I want is to play some consistent tennis and keep my body in good shape for the big tournaments i.e. the Grand Slams. Your performance in the Grand Slams matter the most.”
Djokovic has also won as many Grand Slam singles title as his newly appointed coach i.e. six. Out of those six, four have been the Australian Open titles.

Novak Djokovic has defeated Florian Mayer of Germany in the second round of the ongoing Rogers Cup. Djokovic won the match in the straight sets by 6-2, 6-1.
It was expected to be a one sided fixture and that’s what it turned out to be. Djokovic didn’t give his opponent any chance and finished the match off in just less than a couple of hours.
This was the 5th match between these two players and Djokovic has won all of them and that too in straight sets.
Talking to the reporters in the post match interview, Djokovic said, “It’s not easy to enter a tournament like this after a break of 4 weeks. It was important for me to put in a bit of extra effort and I did that. Hopefully, things will keep going well for me in the further matches as well.”
In the first set, Djokovic had a blistering start as he broke his opponent’s serve in the 2nd game and then, by winning his next service game, he got up by 3-0.
In the next 4 games, neither of the two players dropped his serve and at the end of the 7th game, the score was 5-2 in the favour of Djokovic.
In the 8th game, the Serbian ace sneaked in another breakthrough and sealed the set by 6-2.
The start of the second set was quite similar to the first one. Again, Djokovic had a breakthrough in the second game and he was off to a 3-0 lead.
Mayer held his serve in the 4th game to make the score 3-1, but, that’s all for him in the set. He couldn’t win a game after that as Djokovic bagged the next 3 games in a row with another breakthrough in the 6th game.
