Novak Djokovic Aims For World No. 1 Rank In 2015, Becker Says

Boris Becker, Novak Djokovic's coach thinks that the Serb aims to maintain his world no. 1 ranking for 2015. This year, Djokovic secured his Wimbledon title after reaching the French Open final, which he lost to world no. 3 Rafael Nadal. At this point, the French Open is the only Grand Slam title that is yet to be won by the reigning world no.1, with his coach Becker.

The 46-year-old German coach thinks that Novak Djokovic will not specifically concentrate on the French Open next year but will further cement his place at the top of the world rankings.

"Of course he [Djokovic] wants to win Roland Garros in the future but that's one of his many goals next year. When you're a tennis player you have many goals, not only one tournament. I think the main thing is always the ranking. To stay at the number one position means to be consistent during the whole year and that includes Grand Slams," Becker said according to Yahoo Sports.

Being number one is a very difficult accomplishment and securing back the spot makes you want to stay as the number one, the coach further added. According to the coach, he has a very good relationship with Djokovic that is built from shared experiences and trust, and they both want to carry on.

Meanwhile, apart from the flourishing career of Novak Djokovic, it appears that he is also doing well off the court as he recently launched an online store to raise funds for a charity foundation. The Serb revealed that he wants to use his fan base to help other people.

According to his personal Web site, the 7-time Grand Slam champion's fans will be able to buy from his online store his rackets, match wear and clothes with his name and logo and all proceeds will go to the Novak Djokovic Foundation. The charity foundation funds early childhood education projects in Serbia.

"I want my child to be proud of me for using my name and time to help to promote good values. I want to be known as someone who wants to help children live fuller lives through quality education," Djokovic writes in his blog post.
