Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon title was not just the sweetest of his seven grand slam trophies but also vindication of his decision to hire Boris Becker as head coach.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic will meet David Ferrer in the final of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship exhibition event in Abu Dhabi.

World number two Novak Djokovic will not feature in any events other than the Mubadala World Tennis Championships prior to the Australian Open in January.

Novak Djokovic has appointed six-time grand slam champion Boris Becker as his new head coach.

Top seed Novak Djokovic eased past an out-of-sorts David Nalbandian to reach the Monte Carlo Masters semi-finals and stay on course for a possible re-run of last year’s final against Rafael Nadal.
