The Novak Djokovic-Boris Becker partnership that lasted for three years yielded six Grand Slams.

World number two Novak Djokovic confirmed on Tuesday he has split from his coach Boris Becker after three years working together.

"Boris Becker and I have jointly decided to end our cooperation," Djokovic, who won this year's Australian and French Open titles, wrote on his official Facebook page.

"The goals we set when we started working together have been completely fulfilled, and I want to thank him for the cooperation, teamwork, dedication and commitment.

"On the other hand, my professional plans are now directed primarily to maintain a good level of play, and also to make a good schedule and new goals for the next season.

"In this regard I will make all future decisions."

Djokovic had made a change to his coaching team towards the end of the 2016 season with Spaniard Pepe Imaz joining his team for the Paris Masters and World Tour Finals in London.
