5 things Novak Djokovic must do to regain his mojo

#2 Find the right coach – in Andre Agassi!

Novak’s serve has never been his biggest suit. The story was same with Agassi

A perfect pair if there ever was any! Agassi has always said that he is not inclined towards coaching – but can he truly give up the golden opportunity of working with Djokovic if it does present itself to him?

Djokovic and Agassi have stark similarities – their powerful and attacking returns, their long wait for the RG crown, their strong game from the back of the court and maybe, their strong comeback after a mediocre season. (They have the same zodiac sign too!)

Most people criticise Djokovic’s move of bringing Pepe Imaz to his support staff. However, that kind of move need not be discouraged. Djokovic is a person who has always embraced different kinds of cultures and has tried different things. Now, if he wants to add another dimension to his training, he shouldn’t be criticised for the same.

However, another full-time only-tennis coach is an absolute requirement for Djokovic right now. Agassi fits the role effortlessly. Because of personal reasons, the American spiralled down to World No.141 from being the World No. 1 in the span of a year. However, he made one of the strongest comebacks in the history of the game to win the French Open after his dark slump. Today, Djokovic needs guidance from someone just like that.

Talking about the technicalities of the Serb's game, he has this intrinsic ability to turn defence into offence with a single shot. With Agassi on board, Djokovic can turn that into a lethal weapon.

Djokovic's serve has never been his biggest suit, and the story was the same with Agassi. However, Agassi’s serve improved steadily throughout the length of his career. Djokovic too has developed this uncanny capability of serving himself out of trouble, more often than not. But Agassi can help him hone those skills even further and create a stronger wall of defence around the Serb’s game.

Before the 2015 French Open, Djokovic said that he was always inspired by Agassi’s struggle to win Roland Garros. After the Australian Open this year, Agassi said that it would not be difficult for Djokovic to bounce back from his loss of form.

If they manage to do that together, it would be some story to tell!
