World number two Novak Djokovic will reportedly elect not to bring anyone in to replace former head coach Boris Becker.

The German and Djkovic parted ways last week after three years together, during which the Serb won six grand-slam titles.

There had been reports suggesting Djokovic's friend and Davis Cup team-mate Nenad Zimonjic would fill the role but The Times reports that no-one new will be brought in.

Instead Marian Vajda, who is already part of the team, will step up as his head coach according to a spokesperson for the Serbian.

The report also mentions that Pepe Imaz, the 42-year-old spiritual guru, and Djokovic's younger brother Marko will also both be more involved next season.
