Boris Becker will meet his former protégé Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open. As TV expert for Eurosport. Becker trusts the new coach of the Serbian coach a lot

Since the French Open 2017, the multiple major winners have had one thing in common: Novak Djokovic has hired both of them as coaches, and during the two successful Becker years, Marian Vajda has also been the coach in wages and bread, and now it’s Radek Stepanek who is expanding the duo Djokovic-Agassi.
