World No.2 Novak Djokovic, who has strongly launched his bid for a fourth straight Australian Open title, wants fast results from his new coach Boris Becker.
After winning his first round match here with a 6-3 7-6 6-1 win over Lukas Lacko, Djokovic said he and Becker hope to get the right results right here in Australia, and added that they have worked very hard during the last four weeks for it.
The German legend is the latest 80s icon back in the game, following on from Ivan Lendl and Stefan Edberg who are working with Andy Murray and Roger Federer, Mirror.co.uk reports.
Becker said he is happy to be back and it feels very normal to be in the locker room again, and added that at 46 years of age he can't play like he used to anymore, but is happy to be talking about tennis and not playing anymore.
Djokovic remains unbeaten in 22 matches since getting engaged to Jelena Ristic last September.
