Vajda will stay on his team though. Weird.

This should last about 3 weeks...

Actually now that I said that, it will probably last for the next 10 years and Becker will end up being his coach when he's 40 or some shit

And now Federer hires Edberg! Fedberg!

On a serious note, whenever I have seen Boris becker walking around, he normally looks quite unfit and or quite inebriated. I'm sure he knows his tennis but don't think he will have all that much to offer djokovic that he will already know.

Can someone translate?

In my opinion, Federer is planning to change his game style. From now on he will focus on hard courts and Wimbly, and will give a shit if he can win RG or not, that's for younger guys.

He needs top adapt, and he's a master in 3 things now, the serve, volley and a good FH to reach the net or simply to get a winner. With these 3 things he will try to play Stepanek's style, and Edberg can help a lot.

He can' be consistent anymore form the baseline, not because his technique but because you need to be a TORO (Novak-Nadal) to be that consistent.

The Serb added Becker to his coaching team in an effort to find that extra one or two percent that might help him add to his tally of six grand slam titles.
German Becker, who won Wimbledon three times and six grand slams in all, had done little coaching before accepting the role with Djokovic but the world number two said he was already making his mark.

"He knows exactly the way I feel, what I need to face, what sort of challenges I need to overcome during the tough moments, the tough matches."

I wonder why...
