Boris Becker reveals dream match against Djokovic at Wimbledon

Boris Becker selected his ‘dream tennis match’ to be against his former mentee Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon. The German former player won three of his six Grand Slam titles at the All England Club, the first of which he claimed at just 17 years old in 1985. To this day, he still holds the record as the tournament's youngest champion.

The former world No. 1 also coached Djokovic from 2013 to 2016, supporting him in six of the Serbian’s 24 Grand Slam titles, including Wimbledon titles in 2014 and 2015, along with a runner-up finish. For his own part, Becker took the title in 1985, '86, and '89, and finished as runner-up between 1988 and 1995.

Becker chose his ‘dream tennis match’ to be against the 24-time Grand Slam champion: “So many. Listen, I coached the guy. Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. I don’t know if that’s good for me, though,” Becker told Sportfive.

Back in 2016, after three years, they decided to end their partnership, with both sharing words of appreciation for each other. “The goals we set when we started working together have been completely fulfilled. I want to thank him for the cooperation, teamwork, dedication, and commitment,” Djokovic wrote on Facebook.

The German replied, “Thank U! We had the time of our life.” Since then, they have continued to praise each other on multiple occasions.
