Djokovic ends partnership with Stepanek as well

Novak Djokovic has parted company with coach Radek Stepanek days after the departure of head coach Andre Agassi from his team, the former world No. 1 announced yesterday.

鈥淎fter Miami Novak Djokovic and his tennis coach Radek Stepanek decided to end their cooperation,鈥 said a statement on Djokovic鈥檚 website. The 12-time grand slam winner ended his collaboration with Agassi last week after struggling to rediscover his form following a long elbow injury layoff. Former professional Stepanek had joined Djokovic鈥檚 team on a part-time basis after eight-time major winner Agassi came on board ahead of last year鈥檚 French Open. The Serb鈥檚 form has faltered since winning his maiden French Open title in 2016 to complete a career grand slam. Following defeat at Roland Garros last year, the 30-year-old retired against Czech Tomas Berdych in the Wimbledon quarterfinals and was sidelined for six months with an elbow injury. After crashing out of the last-16 at the Australian Open in January, he had surgery on his elbow.
