Novak Djokovic confirms split from Boris Becker

Becker was appointed as Djokovic's coach in December 2013 and since then the Serbian has won six Grand Slams and at once stage held all four major titles.

However, posting on Facebook Djokovic, who brought in Pepe Imaz last year, confirmed that he and Becker had ended their association.

The statement read:

"After three very successful years, Boris Becker and I have jointly decided to end our cooperation. The goals we set when we started working together have been completely fulfilled, and I want to thank him for the cooperation, teamwork, dedication and commitment.

"On the other hand, my professional plans are now directed primarily to maintain a good level of play, and also to make a good schedule and new goals for the next season. In this regard I will make all future decisions."

Djokovic saw a massive drop-off in his own form in the second-half of the year as he crashed out early at Wimbledon and suffered defeat in the final of the US Open.

His poor form saw a resurgent Andy Murray move ahead of him in the world rankings, setting up an epic battle between the pair in 2017.
