After a half-season break with an elbow injury, Djokovic is about to return to the field at the end of the year. During the offseason, Djokovic also made "drastic" adjustments to his team, helping him achieve a career slam Boris Becker left, and the physical coach and batting coach also left the team together. Who will accompany Djokovic to men's tennis next season?

This year's tennis star Agassi agreed to coach Djokovic during the French Open and Wimbledon, but the Serbian was plagued by injuries at the time and did not show good competitive form. However, in the 2018 season, Agassi will continue to accompany Djokovic to some important competitions, including four Grand Slams.

Former pro Ansić also joined Djokovic's team this summer, but Djokovic said there was no formal contract for their previous cooperation: "We didn't sign a long-term contract... At first I told Agassi about it, and then Agassi was very much in favor of having Ancic on the coaching team to help me when he didn't have time. ”

The latest development for Djokovic's team is the recently retired Czech star Stepanek "enlisted" and he will accompany Djokovic throughout the next season in all competitions. According to Djokovic, the choice of Stepanek as coach was also a reference to Agassi's advice. Djokovic, who was preparing for the Australian Open in Monte Carlo, also invited Craig Osannessi as a technical and tactical coach.

In addition, some of the "regular members" of Deyo's team will continue to stay, including wife Elena and second brother Mark, who will also serve as Deyo's batting partner for the next season. Meditation guru Pepe Imaz also remains with the team, providing him with spiritual encouragement.
