Former world No.1 Novak Djokovic was involved in a minor car collision earlier this week - but the Serbian star was soon forgiven,

Djokovic, looking for a return to form at the French Open later this month, has been in Marbella training and preparing ahead of the year's second Grand Slam.

The 29-year-old had been driving a small Fiat 500 - with a curious 'love and pace' heart emblazoned on the side and front - when he appeared to bump into the back of a woman's Mini.

The woman exited her vehicle looking displeased, but was all smiles upon reckoning the 12-time Grand Slam winner.

The pair shook hands, before Djokovic posed for pictures with a young man, though to be the woman's son.

And amid the minor damage, the woman took the opportunity to point out the dirt on Djokovic's car bonnet.

Djokovic is looking to go deep at Roland Garros, having been dumped out of the second round in Melbourne in January.

On Friday, Djokovic posted a statement on his website announcing the end of his “successful and long term partnership” with coach Marian Vajda, fitness coach Gebhard Phil Gritsch and physiotherapist Miljan Amanovic, following the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Vajda in particular has been working with the 12-time Grand Slam champion since 2006, but Djokovic, who has struggled with an elbow injury and inconsistent form this season, feels the need for wholesale change.

“I am forever grateful to Marian, GG and Miljan for decade of friendship, professionalism and commitment to my career goals,” said Djokovic.

"Without their support I couldn’t have achieved these professional heights. I know they completely dedicated themselves and their lives to help me achieve my dreams and they were always my driving force and wind in my back.

"It was not an easy decision, but we all felt that we need a change. I am very grateful and proud of our relationship and unbreakable bond that we built through years of mutual love, respect and understanding. They are my family and that will never change.”
