One high profile player/coach alliance has come to a close and another looks distinctly rocky with the news that Novak Djokovic received a last minute telephone call from Boris Becker to say he wouldn’t be able to be with his Serbian charge for the Sony Open in Miami because he was about to undergo hip surgery.
Novak Djokovic will start his campaign to win the Miami Masters without the coaching services of Boris Becker as the 46-year-old German undergoes double hip surgery. Second seed Djokovic revealed the news on the eve of his opening match at Crandon Park.
Fernando Gonzalez, Chile’s former world no.5 who has been struggling with injuries for much of 2010, will become the latest leading player to undergo hip surgery and is likely to be out of competitive action for nine months.
