Boris Becker has suggested that?Novak Djokovic?needs to rediscover his old work ethic to reclaim the No. 1 ranking from Andy Murray.Djokovic confirmed Tuesday night he had split with Becker, his coach, after a three-year spell that yielded six major titles.He didnt spend as much time on the practice court in the last six months as he should have, and he knows that, the German told Sky News. Success like this doesnt happen by pushing a button. Success like this doesnt just happen by showing up at a tournament. You have to work your bottom off because the opposition does the same.He [Djokovic] has got to go back to work. He has to go back to the office and practice these hours and refocus on what made him strong in the first place.Djokovic made a change to his coaching team, which also includes Slovakian Marian Vajda, at the back end of the 2016 season with Spanish spiritual guru Pepe Imaz brought on as an advisor for the Paris Masters and World Tour Finals in London.Becker had hinted in interviews with British newspapers Sunday that he was set to part company with the Serb but had refused to respond to questions regarding any tensions in the camp.It was mutual. A decision like this does not happen overnight. It is a progress, he told Sky News. I think the last six months have been challenging on many levels. Our hands were tied a little bit because we couldnt do the work we wanted to do.Djokovic has previously admitted to losing some of his motivation after completing the career Grand Slam in June when he won the French Open, and he said in an official statement Tuesday he was ready to set new goals without Becker.Having dominated the first six months of 2016, with titles at Doha, the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Roland Garros, the 29-year-old saw a rankings lead of more than 8,000 points overturned by Murray.The 12-time major winner went out in the third round at Wimbledon and the first round of the Olympics and lost in the US Open final, having admitted in New York his slump was down to personal problems as well as injury issues.I dont know if he had any personal problems, based on what I know, Becker said. He is happily married. He has got a beautiful son. But the profession of a tennis player is probably the most selfish one in sports because it has to be about you, and he is the first to say he is a family man, so of course his wife and the rest of his family had to take back seats.That cant be forever, and I think that is what he meant. I dont think there were problems. I have met his wife -- she is lovely and very, very supportive of her husband. But they dont spend enough time together. I had it, too, 20 years ago. It is just the nature of the beast, being a tennis player.Beaten by Murray in a winner-takes-all showdown for the year-end No. 1 spot and the World Tour Finals title, Djokovic faces a tough task to dislodge the Scot at the top of the rankings given the sheer number of points he will have to defend in the first half of the 2017 season.I am sure the fact that he lost the No. 1 ranking to Andy Murray is going to hurt, Becker said, though. I know the US Open loss in the final against Stan [Wawrinka] hurt. I think that is what he needed maybe in a funny way was to lose a little bit, to realise what it is like to lose, because he hasnt been losing for two and a half years.Im convinced -- and I am his No. 1 fan for next year -- that he will come back and regain that No. 1 position and regain being the most dominant player in his sport.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins won twice and lost once during their season-opening trip despite missing center Patrice Bergeron because of a lower-body injury.When they host the New Jersey Devils at TD Garden in their home opener Thursday night, the Bruins are expected to have their scoring leader back.Bergeron, an alternate captain and a three-time 30-goal scorer, practiced with the Bruins on Wednesday at Warrior Ice Arena for the first time since he suffered the injury near the end of practice Oct. 12. Theres a strong possibility he will be back in the lineup against the Devils.Of course. I want to be (back) as fast as possible, Bergeron said. Thats the talk Ive had all week with (the medical staff). But at the same time you have to respect their opinion that theyre the ones that are putting the team and my interest in front and making sure were all taking care of that. So well see what happens. Obviously Id like to be on the ice, but ... hopefully I feel good tonight and tomorrow morning and we can go from there.Bergeron said he felt fine after going through the entire practice and not being limited in his activities. He wouldnt get more specific about his injury and would only say, It was in practice. I just hurt myself.Bruins coach Claude Julien expects to have Bergeron in the lineup.Unless Im told otherwise today or tomorrow whenn he comes in and feels any different, I think were hoping hes going to be in the lineup, Julien said.ddddddddddddThe Bruins made do without Bergeron by moving David Backes from right wing to center between Bergerons expected linemates Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak. The line of Backes, Marchand and Pastrnak combined for 16 points in the Bruins three games. Bergeron is expected to get his old spot back with Backes moving to another line.The Bruins, who start a three-game homestand against the Devils, were 17-8-6 last season and their home struggles contributed to their missing the Stanley Cup playoffs for a second straight season. Coming off a relatively successful road trip, Boston knows it needs to exercise some home dominance to prove its an improved team.We all know weve still got to improve as a hockey club, Julien said. And theres areas where we need to be better. But the fact that we were able to get through this road trip with a bunch of new players, the first road trip, and come out of there with a winning record is a good thing. So weve got to follow it up with this short home stretch here and hopefully we can build on that.Having Bergeron back should help the Bruins attempt to keep improving. ' ' '
