Boris Becker believes it is “far-fetched” to think Novak Djokovic can chase down Roger Federer’s record 17 Grand Slam title haul.
The German, six-time major winner who has coached Djokovic to unprecedented success since joining his team in 2013, insists the two have yet to discuss eclipsing the Swiss’ record – despite Djokovic having defeated Federer, who last won a Slam in 2012, in three consecutive major finals.
“At the moment I think that’s far fetched, it’s not something we talk about,” the three-time Wimbledon champion told Laureus.com, speaking on behalf of his player who has been nominated for the 2016 World Sportsman of the Year Award for the second straight year.
“That’s not on our agenda and quite frankly not our goal. The goal is to play this year as well as possible, win as many tournaments and Grand Slams as we can. And that’s it.”
