Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic is far from his best and parting ways with tennis legend Andre Agassi and coach Radek Stepanek could be a tactical move by the Serb. 12-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic and former world No.

1 Agassi officially kicked off their collaboration at last year's French Open and decided to continue working together after the clay-court Major event. On the other side, Stepanek was added to the ream just before the start of this season.

Djokovic, who has been struggling on the court since he finally won a French Open title in 2016, sacked his entire previous coaching staff before he added Agassi and Radek Stepanek on the board. It hasn't gone as planned for Djokovic since he made a radical change in his staff.

During his tenure with Agassi, Djokovic concluded his 2017 season after Wimbledon due to an elbow injury - - rushed his comeback to the courts at the Australian Open in January - - then underwent a minor elbow surgery and lost his openers at the Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Miami to world No.

111 Taro Daniel and France's Benoit Paire, respectively. Djokovic's current form and what to expect from him in the future has been a common topic in the last three weeks since he returned to competitive action. Of course, the Serb is coming off a surgery - - not being and playing at his best isn't the most surprising thing in the world - - but the feeling is that there is something more than just struggling to catch form post-surgery.

Djokovic hasn't won a Grand Slam in nearly two years and a Masters 1000 title since he went all the way at the Toronto Masters in 2016 July. Djokovic, a true champion and one of the greatest ever to play the game, will be turning 31 years in May and it would be hard to imagine him staying on the Tour for a long time if he fails to rediscover his old form and be a contender for the Grand Slam and Masters 1000 titles.

Djokovic may be feeling that making changes and doing something new could be just what he needs in order to finally rediscover his old form and dominance. Sacking Agassi and Stepanek is a change and it remains to be seen will it have a positive impact on Djokovic's game.
