ATP: Becker believes in the duo Agassi and Djokovic

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

Boris Becker’s personal record against Andre Agassi is slightly negative: Becker has won five out of 14 matches with the American, but Becker has won five, at least on at least two occasions that have been remembered by German tennis fans. In 1989, following a two-sentence gap in the semi-final of the Davis Cup, six years later in Wimbledon’s preliminary round, where Agassi had a better start again, but in the end B At least in this match, in the final Pete Sampras proved to be too strong.

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.

In the Bild-Zeitung, Becker was quite confident about the chances of the liaison between his former protégé and Agassi – even though he could not resist a small point. He can imagine that Djokovic thinks in a quiet minute:”Was dovch actually pretty good the time with Becker.

But:”Agassi is a very good choice. In fact, Agassi and Djokovic had only really got to know each other in Roland Garros, the second and most recent joint appearance was in Wimbledon. There Novak Djokovic had to give up against Tomas Berdych and will not make his comeback on the tour until Doha in early 2018.

In Boris Becker’s opinion, Agassi brings everything that makes up a successful coach: he was the world’s number one, he won Grand Slam tournaments, and he wasn’t afraid to tell unpleasant truths. And of course, a man like Andre Agassi doesn’t have to rely on his job at Novak Djokovic,”These are all good factors for working with a superstar.”
