Boris Becker recently told AFP that he is a better coach than he was as a player. "I have to admit that I am now better as a coach than a player," said the 48-year-old Becker, who won six Grand Slam . (2 Australian Opens, 1 US Open and 3 Wimbledon titles) during his playing career. "I've already reserved my seat for Wimbledon. We are aware of this historical opportunity. "The Olympic Games are also a big focus for Novak, it's clear, and that's why I'll also be in Rio to support him." Becker said his coaching prowess comes to the fore in his ability to "analyse opponents and matches" and he can also put himself in the position of a player to help deal with different scenarios.

Djokovic Under Becker's Guidance

The now 48-year old former number one began coaching Novak Djokovic during the 2014 season and under his guidance, the Serb has won six of the last eight Grand Slams, including the French Open this past Sunday, defeating Andy Murray in four sets to win his 12th career major and become only the eighth man in tennis history to complete the career Grand Slam, the third player in history to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time, and the first player to win $100 million in prize money.

With Becker in the fold, Djokovic also broke his own ATP Tour ranking points record earlier this year in Doha, bringing the total to 16,790 points. Becker also spoke of his feelings after Djokovic's historic win in Paris: "We are, obviously, over the moon with Novak’s win. We had fun on Sunday night and celebrated but all the incredible things that Novak Djokovic has accomplished in the last 12 months are really only just starting to sink in. I think what’s most incredible is not just that he’s won his first French Open or that he has 12 Grand Slam titles but that he has won the last four Grand Slam titles, an achievement that hasn’t been accomplished since Rod Laver in 1969. Imagine! It takes a lot to win one title, and it’s very, very difficult to win two in a row but four in a row is almost impossible. So this is something we will cherish forever."
