Boris Becker is Novak Djokovic's new head coach "I am happy to be working with Boris, and I believe his great tennis knowledge and his experience will help me win trophies in the biggest tournaments,” said Djokovic. "He is also a great person, and he will fit in our team easily. I think that Boris will bring a fresh new approach, and together with (Marian) Vajda's longtime experience in working with me and his assessment of all important segments of the game, we will have a winning combination," he said. I am proud Novak invited me to be his head coach and I am looking forward to our working together. I am sure we can achieve great results and I will do my best to help him win more Grand Slams and other titles,” added former tennis champion Boris Becker. Vajda, who has been working with Djokovic since 2006, said that the two of them made a joint decision to bring Becker to the coaching team.
