Becker’s ex-coach dies

Australian Bob Brett, who coached Boris Becker in his standout 1989 season during which he won Wimbledon and the US Open, died yesterday of cancer at the age of 67. Brett coached Becker from November 1987 to February 1991, a period when the German also became world No. 1 on the back of 18 tour-level titles won together. In a 46-year career, Brett also worked with Johan Kriek, Goran Ivanisevic, Mats Wilander and Marin Cilic, as well as many national tennis associations.
