Former German tennis star Boris Becker commented upon the evolution of Djokovic on the grass courts. Becker revealed that the Serbian star didn?t like the grass much initially, but Djokovic became better on the grass with time. He said, ?He has already won here seven times, although lawn was not necessarily his favorite surface at the beginning of his career.?
?But he?s learned lawn tennis over the years and, as the number of titles suggests, Wimbledon is now his favorite tournament after Australia,” he said as reported by Suddeutsche Zeitung.
Becker, charged with bankruptcy in 2017, coached Djokovic for three years starting in December 2013. And Djokovic won six grand slams under his mentorship.
